African Tribal Shankadi Luba Wooden Head & Cascade Hair

Item Details

Description

Title: Impressive African tribal Shankadi LUBA wooden head with Cascade hair - Democratic Republic Congo. D.R.C.

Date: Second half of the 20th Century.

Origin/Tribe: Bembe or Babembe. Democratic Republic Congo.

Material: Wood; With a custom metal stand.

Dimensions: "Height 20 cm. Width 17 cm. Depth 19 cm. Weight 2 Kg. Metal stand 1,10 Kg. (with made to mesure steel stand of 1 cm. thick).

At the end of the 19th century, explains specialist Bruno Claessens, the ‘cascade coiffure’ hairstyle was the height of fashion for Luba-Shankadi women, in what is today known as the Democratic Republic of the Congo. ‘Signifying beauty and social status, the complex style took more than 50 hours to complete — although it could be preserved for up to three months if the wearer slept on a raised headrest’.
