CONGO DRC
SUPERB LUBA CHIEF'S STAFF - SCEPTER - CANE
( KIBANGO )
Chief's staffs, symbols of authority (regalia), were reserved for leaders, village chiefs or important dignitaries. They displayed the social position of their holders.
The board-shaped section engraved with geometric patterns is called dibulu. The female representation that surmounts it is of very good quality.
The Luba are a great people in eastern DRC.
Their caryatid seats, their cup holders, chiefs' sticks, arrow holders, adzes and cult figures are very famous and among the most valued objects in African Art.
