Item Details

Description

Title: Bena Lulua Tambour

Date/Period: 19th Century

Origin: DRC, Africa

Dimension: 13in X 5in X 40in

Materials: Wood

Additional Information: This tambour was played at the court at the investiture or funeral of the ruler or a dignitary. This type of drum is also used by their neighbors the Basonge, Batetela, Baluba, Bakusu, etc. "The Lulua people are a Bantu ethnic group settled along the Lulua River valley in south central Kasai-Occidental province, Democratic Republic of the Congo. The Lulua are a collection of small groups whose home is bordered by the larger Luba state and the related Songye people and Chokwe people, with whom they share a very similar culture, history, and language. The name Lulua seems to have appeared in the last quarter of the 19th century, previously these groups simply being ethnically Luba people outside the Luba (or Baluba) political structure." Excerpt from: Lulua people.
