Description
A Very rare, old and interesting wooden idol from the Luba or Hemba peoples of The Congo (DRC) Central Africa. This is a well weathered and very old example of a divination idol. Featuring a stylized male shown seated on a stool and carrying a vessel, perhaps linking it to ceremony and ritual. This wood sculpture is an antique example and has a deep well handled surface patina and an overall fantastic exaggerated style, very light weight and dry wood. ~ This is Great Art! Measures 17 inches tall. Not mounted and not very good balance.
Condition
Very heavily eroded, old dry wood
