Ex Zemanek-Münster

Provenance: Justin Barthels (Maastricht, NL)

The downcast eyes and the gesture of the hands give the figure a contemplative dinified expression. Rich scarification indictes high social rank. Great dark black patina of age.

Stylistic wooden female ancestor figure from the Luba people of DR Congo. This serene Luba figure epitomizes the art and mystery that carvers from this tribe have imbued in their sculpture. They quiet power of the figure elicits the respect that the tribe owed to their ancestors.
