From Congo Normal ... more0 MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Aside from the beautiful cloth mentioned above. The Kuba also produce carved wooden masks and figures. They also carve headrests, divination oracles, and anthropomorphic cups. In the 16th century. The Kuba peoples migrated from the distant north to their current location along the Sankuru River. When they arrived, however, they found that the Twa already lived there. The Twa were eventually absorbed into the Kuba Kingdom, but retained some independent cultural characteristics. The height of the Kingdom was during the mid-19th century. Europeans first reached the area in 1884, but the Kuba, being relatively isolated, were not as affected by the slave trade as many of the other peoples in the area. The Nsapo invaded during the late 19th century, and the Kingdom was broken up to a large extent. The Kuba oral history tells of the creation of the world by Bumba. Who decreed that the Bushoong would always be the ruling class. This creator god is not formally worshiped. At one time the Kuba had a religion based on ancestor worship, but this seems to have died out, although divination is still practiced in order to discover causes of evil. Success during hunting is recognized as a gift from the gods. It is not incidental that diviners often employ carved wooden hunting dogs as rubbing oracles in order to arrive at their knowledge. Dogs are seen throughout the region as responsible for delivering the will of the god, whether it be through hunting or through the diviner. This is one of Many items I will be offering on ebay from an Amazing Single New York Collection I bought.

REAL OLD KUBA PEOPLE CARVED WOOD CUP / GOBLET WITH LID FROM CONGO
You are bidding on a Rare and OLD(approx. 100 years old or more) Tribal KUBA PEOPLE Carved Wood Cup/ Goblet with amazing design details. From Congo Normal 0 MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Aside from the beautiful cloth mentioned above. The Kuba also produce carved wooden masks and figures. They also carve headrests, divination oracles, and anthropomorphic cups. In the 16th century. The Kuba peoples migrated from the distant north to their current location along the Sankuru River. When they arrived, however, they found that the Twa already lived there. The Twa were eventually absorbed into the Kuba Kingdom, but retained some independent cultural characteristics. The height of the Kingdom was during the mid-19th century. Europeans first reached the area in 1884, but the Kuba, being relatively isolated, were not as affected by the slave trade as ... moremany of the other peoples in the area. The Nsapo invaded during the late 19th century, and the Kingdom was broken up to a large extent. The Kuba oral history tells of the creation of the world by Bumba. Who decreed that the Bushoong would always be the ruling class. This creator god is not formally worshiped. At one time the Kuba had a religion based on ancestor worship, but this seems to have died out, although divination is still practiced in order to discover causes of evil. Success during hunting is recognized as a gift from the gods. It is not incidental that diviners often employ carved wooden hunting dogs as rubbing oracles in order to arrive at their knowledge. Dogs are seen throughout the region as responsible for delivering the will of the god, whether it be through hunting or through the diviner. This is one of Many items I will be offering on ebay from an Amazing Single New York Collection I bought. I will try to describe the item as close as possible to what has been reported to me when I bought this collection. In this item's case it is Kuba. From Congo Maybe an expert will identify the specifics of this piece. CONDITION: I will try my best to report the accura

KUBA PALM WINE PRESTIGE CUP #2383 - For African Art Gallery
KUBA PALM WINE CUP#2383 Tribe: Kuba. Country: Democratic Republic of Congo. Material: Wood. Size: 5.75" 14.6 cm) Item: 2383 Condition: Good. Among the most public forms of display by Kuba men was the use of decorated wooden cups for drinking palm wine. Palm wine(maan) is the principal beverage of choice in much of central Africa.

The sweet but tart liquid is brought back to the community in large gourd containers and sold by the cup full. Decorated drinking cups were made in a range of styles. The outer surface of most drinking cups was covered with a single geometric pattern encircling the outer surface of the container. Some examples exhibit a curved decorated handle in the form ... moreof a stylized human being or a human head with an abbreviated body or arm ending in a large hand- a convention also seen on other Kuba sculpture including decorated drums. Some Kuba figurative cups were carved in the form of an entire human body with a large head. Short neck and an abbreviated torso, lower limbs and feet. On other examples, the body is entirely absent, at the large head is positioned above a circular flaring base, or the depiction of an over-sized foot or feet facilitates the cup standing alone. The facial decoration and distinctive hairstyle on the heads of the decorated cups are consistent with other Kuba carving conventions, such as those displayed on Kuba masks. A sharply delineated hairline across the forehead, with abrupt angle at he temples, emphasizes the head and characteristic hairstyle. Some Kuba cups were most likely created to reference their owners' particular occupation or interest. For example. A cup carved in the form of a miniature drum may have originally been commissioned by a musician, or a carved in the form of stacked clay pot, resembling the containers employed to collect palm wine during the tapper process, may have been commissioned

Exquisite African Art- Kuba Palm Wine Drinking Vessel/Cup Kneeling Female Form Kuba Palm Wine Drinking Cup/ Vessel Tribe: Kuba Origin: Kuba Kingdom D.R.Congo Materials: Wood Dimensions: 24cm Tall x 9cm Wide x 11 Depth A Stunning Kuba palm wine cup/ vessel in the form of a kneeling woman. Wood with shiny black patina. Tribe-typical coiffure and scarification's. This fine beauty is just one of the amazing used items we have collected in from the Congo over the last few months. KUBA Palm wine cups One of the important art forms identified with competition between titled court members among the Kuba are the carved palm-wine drinking cups. With half of all Bushoong men holding titles in the 1880s. Competition for influence was sometimes fierce, and found expression in the elaboration of these essentially commonplace household objects into ... moreworks of extraordinary beauty. Because Kuba individuals of high status signaled their largesse by distributing great quantities of palm wine to their friends and affiliates to attract a following. The complexity of such art came under public scrutiny. If, as the myths maintain, the inebriation caused by drinking palm wine led eventually to the formation of the royal line, drinking thus provided the social setting in which office holders were able to play out through art the precariousness of their own positions within this heatedly contested milieu. There are reports– not confirmed– that these cups might have been used in the poison ordeal. Among the Kuba. As among other African tribes, death was never attributed to natural causes, but to malevolent spirits or to witchcraft. The person suspected of using witchcraft was required to drink poison from such a cup. If he vomited up the drink, he was declared innocent. On the other hand, his death proclaimed his guilt and constituted his punishment. source of information: Rand African Art We will post worldwide. Please contact for a price.

Among the most public forms of display by Kuba men was the use of decorated wooden cups for drinking palm wine. Palm wine( maan) is the principal beverage of choice in much of central Africa. It is still tapped twice a day(early in the morning and again in the late afternoon) from raffia palm trees that are specially cultivated for that purpose. The sweet but tart liquid is brought back to the community in large gourd containers and sold by the cup full. Decorated drinking cups were made in a range of styles. The outer surface of most drinking cups was covered with a single geometric pattern encircling the outer surface of the container. Some examples exhibit a curved decorated ... morehandle in the form of a stylized human being or a human head with an abbreviated body or arm ending in a large hand- a convention also seen on other Kuba sculpture including decorated drums. Some Kuba figurative cups were carved in the form of an entire human body with a large head. Short neck and an abbreviated torso, lower limbs and feet. On other examples, the body is entirely absent, at the large head is positioned above a circular flaring base, or the depiction of an over-sized foot or feet facilitates the cup standing alone. The facial decoration and distinctive hairstyle on the heads of the decorated cups are consistent with other Kuba carving conventions, such as those displayed on Kuba masks. A sharply delineated hairline across the forehead, with abrupt angle at he temples, emphasizes the head and characteristic hairstyle. Some Kuba cups were most likely created to reference their owners' particular occupation or interest. For example. A cup carved in the form of a miniature drum may have originally been commissioned by a musician, or a carved in the form of stacked clay pot, resembling the containers employed to collect palm wine during the tapper process, may ha

African Tribal Kuba Medicine Cup Dual Sided Hand Carved
Here's a magnificently carved African tribal medicine cup. Tribe and location of origin is unknown. It appears to be carved of Kuba Palm and is very original compared to others I have seen. This one has a face and leg on each side. There is a rest for what I imagine was a pestle of some sort since I do believe this probably belonged to a medicine man who would conjure up potions for the local villagers. Don't miss out on a one-of-a-kind piece of African history. Texas residents pay sales tax.
