And much of their skillfully crafted artworks reflect this ideal It is through woman that the continuity of the clan is ensured. It is through woman that the ancestor reveals himself anew in the child" Neyt. F, 1994) The woman gives life and nourishes the community. In Holding her prominent belly she claims her privilege status as guarantor of fecundity and well-being for members of her society. The history of the Luba can be traced back at least 500 years. And they have dominated much of southern part of the Congo during most of this time span. At the height of their expansion their empire stretched east all the way to Lake Tanganyika. Luba Society is still a large culture, numbering about 1,000,000, and their influence remains significant. While there are dozens of art-producing peoples of Congolese origin who have contributed significantly to the recognition of Central African art, the Luba, along with their closely related neighbors the Hemba, are debatable the most important of them all, with many masterpieces scattered throughout the world.

Beautiful Antique Eastern Luba Kifwebe Face Mask - Congo / DRC
This is a beautiful antique Luba face mask from the Katanga region in South East DRC. The Luba is a large tribe whose establishment as an organized power can be traced back to the 16 th c. The Luba Empire then expanded through the 19 th c. before eroding in part due to the European colonization. As a major center of power. The Luba civilization produced a vast number of political and royal insignia(staff, spears, knifes, axles, cups, headrests, stools, etc. as well as masks. Eastern Luba refers to a group located at the most eastern part of Luba territory– of mixed origin(Luba, Hemba, Buyu) and at the time vassals of the Luba King. Eastern Luba also carved a variety of objects(of power and ritual) and masks– which incorporate elements of the main Luba group and from the other originating tribes. The piece here belongs to the Kifwebe type– ... morea type generally associated to the neighboring Songye although the Eastern Luba also produced such masks, in smaller numbers. It is round in shape and shows the characteristic engraved stripes radiating from the eyes, painted in red, white and black. It is made of a medium light wood. There is a small restoration on the top. Dimensions are 12.5x10.5.

The Luba Eastern live in the Katanga province in the neighborhood ... moreof the Hemba. Buyu, Zela and other Luba subgroups. Face masks such as this are very rare to found. The most famous of the Luba masks are the round kifwebe mask with striations and white pigment.

LUBA CUP HOLDER
The statues representing a woman with a cup. Whatever the position whether sitting, kneeling, crouching, symbolize a divination rite. The cup contains white clay. This substance has a strong ritualistic signification all over Africa. The diviner, covered in white, used this type of statue. In this bowl certain objects could be found and by shaking the bowl and analyzing the new position of the objects the diviner could predict the future. The diviner. Painted white, used the mboko, a seated or crouched female figure holding a bowl rubbed with kaolin. He would shake her and analyze the position of the different objects the bowl contained. In the healing ritual, the sorcerer would use the habila, or daughter of the spirit, which consisted of a figure and receptacle, which were also placed at the entry to the house during childbirth. Healers ... morewere members of the buhabo association, one of the most secret and powerful societies of the region, based on the principle of mutual assistance.

Luba Kneeling Female Figure DR Congo African
Type of Object, Carving. Statue, Country of Origin, DR Congo, People, Luba, Materials, Wood, Approximate Age, second half 20th century, Dimensions, 12.25 inches, Overall Condition, Good, Damage/Repair, General wear. Shallow cracks, Luba Kneeling Female Figure. DR Congo, African Additional Information: This kneeling female figure with Luba typical hairstyle and scarification on the abdomen demonstrates the respect and importance that Luba artists lavish on women. Though the vital role of women in any society is obvious. The sculptural and ritual emphasis placed upon them by the Luba is not completely understood. According to Neyt's superb book. LUBA, The representation of women is omnipresent in Luba art. It is through woman that the ancestor reveals himself anew in the child.The kneeling female figure has her hands on the breasts as symbol ... moreof pride. Shes's proud to be the"giver of life" nourishing her descents, and as guarantor of fecundity. Such figures were kept in personal and family shrine. It is thought. However, that the artisitic dominance of the female form originated somewhere in Luba mythology. The world's greatest museums and private collections are filled with Luba sculpture, as the beauty of some of their finest pieces transcends those of almost any other African culture. For such a small group, their impact on the art world has been extraordinary. Recommended Reading: Francois Neyt. LUBA. 69458* All content.

Pigment, Approximate Age, Second half 20th century, Dimensions, 5 inches H. x 2.75 inches W. Overall Condition, Fair to good. Most of our pieces have spent decades on at least two continents.

Damage/Repair, wear. Scrapes, chips, scratches, Additional Information: A miniature caryatid headrest supported by a sitting female figure. There is a hole ... morein the seat at top. The small size of this piece suggests that this was used as a symbol and shrine piece rather than as a normal headrest which normally be should bigger than this example. This caryatid headrest has a number of classic Luba attributes: the sitting posture. The hairstyle Style, and facial features. The presence of a female on this headrest is understandable: Luba art is almost invariably female art. Woman is central in the social and political life of the Luba, and their art reflects this. Luba always carve their headrests with great care which reflects the importance of these artifacts to the owner. Headrests like this were personal items used by their owners as pillows to protect their neck and for their comfort while resting or lying on the mat. They were also used to protect their ceremonial coiffure. As François Neyt noted. Symbolically these headrests are the support of life itself. They also prevent bad dreams. The Luba excel at the veneration of feminine beauty and motherhood. And much of their skillfully crafted artworks, like this exquisite headrest, reflect this ideal. The history of the Luba can be traced back at least 500 years, and th
