Types of Art: There are numerous mask styles associated with the Songye. Power objects and objects associated with divination are also prevalent in Western collections. In the past many Songye objects have been misattributed to the Luba and vice versa. History: Songye origins are shared with the Luba through a common mythical Songye ancestor known as Kongolo. Who can be traced through lineages to the 16th century. The linguistic traditions of these neighboring peoples are intertwined as well. It is believed that the founders of the Songye emerged from the lake region in Shaba province to the south in the heart of the Luba homeland. The Lomani River divides Songye territory and marks the boundary of the areas invaded by the Luba. As a result of these geographic and political differences there emerged of two distinct social structures among the eastern and western Songye and two stylistic differences in art forms between the two areas. Economy: The Songye traditionally relied mostly on farming and hunting for subsistence. Because the rivers were associated with the spirits of deceased chiefs who were often buried in them. Fishing was not practiced except in times of great need. The artistic wares of the Songye, including pottery made by women and weaving and metalworking done by men, were traded extensively with their neighbors. They were recognized as superior craftsmen, and their products were in great demand. Political Systems: The Songye are divided into about 35 subgroups. The paramount chief

Exquisite African Art- Luba/ Hemba Female Figure Bowl Bearer 0135 Luba/ Hemba Female Figure Tribe: Luba- Hemba Origin: D.R.Congo Approx Age: later 20th ... moreCentury Materials: Wood Dimensions cm: 29.5 tall x 8 widest point Ref. Number: 0135 A large skilfully carved kneeling Luba Hemba Bowl Figure. This kneeling female has elements of Luba& Hemba styling including an elaborate and typical Luba hairstyle and the facial features. This is a classic Luba– Hemba figure that would stand well in any collection. The image of a female figure holding a bowl is found among a number of stylistically related groups in the Democratic Republic of Congo either one of the Luba subgroups or neighbours subtlety influenced by Luba art and symbolism. The different forms and styles of Luba influenced sculptures generally served a common purpose as?objects of power? Ritual and ceremony. This figure and bowl serves to recognize the rank of a chief or senior lineage head as it would be a chiefly container of some prestige or serve local diviners holding various objects and substances required for divination. Both faces have a vertical row of brass tacks on the nose reaching to the forehead. The complex and elegant hairstyle of the larger female figure must be noted as a major factor of Luba aesthetics. Red bark powder was rubbed onto the surface of the figure as a cosmetic effect as are the beads she wears around her waist, neck and ankles. The female figure has geometric scarification on her stomach that is repeated in the design pattern on her back. The Luba are known for the variety of their sculptures including bowls, pipes, figures, drums, and ritual devices. Sources: Nooter. M. N. and A. F. Roberts. 1996.

Kifwebe" means"Mask" in the Songye language. The face generally is covered with linear incisions which are sometimes pigmented, the mouth is most often square and protruding. If it has a central crest, it is masculine; if not, feminine. The size of the crest determines the magical power of the mask. According to Hersak(1985: 168) The striated masks, or kifwebe, are used as agents of a tradition and figures of authority to exercise social and political control through practices of evil magic and witchcraft by the members of the bwadi bwa kifwebe society. Among the societies public performances, three mask types exist: two grades of male and one female mask. Male masks are distinguished by a striated pattern of three colors while the female one is predominantly white with the features accented in black and some red like on this example.

Rare Luba Medicine / Divination Bowl, DRC.
Among the characteristics of Luba sculpture are: intricate hair-dress. Often in the form of a cross, or falling down like a cascade; a grooved diagonal band separating the hair-line from the forehead; eyes shaped like coffee-beans; small simplified‘cat’s ears’ ornamental cicatrices in relief on the body; the surface elaborately worked and polished. The traditional carvings are for ancestor and spirit cults, for initiation, medical and divination purposes. The favorite theme in sculpture was woman since, according to the Luba myth, vilie was the first woman spirit. Founder of the clan and guarantor of fertility and the lineage. Women were cult guardians, and the royal wives played an important role: sent as emissaries to the chiefs of neighboring ethnicities, they would contract profitable political alliances based on marriage. Some figures ... moreare freestanding, almost always in a frontal position, often with their hands on their breasts; others are kneeling, sitting, or standing figures whose upraised hands serve as supports for bowls, seats, and neck rests. The figures are often characterized by elaborate scarification patterns on the body. The diviner, painted white, used the mboko. A seated or crouched female figure holding a bowl robbed 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 kabila. Or daughter of the spirit, which consisted of a figure and receptacle, which were also placed at the entry to the house during the childbirth. The female figures are modeled in rounded forms and have what is called dodu; that is. A stylistic tendency toward plumpness. One well-known Luba sub-style has been called the"long-face style" of Buli. It contrasts strongly with the roundness of other Luba figures. The faces are elongated, with angular, elegant features. Many Luba statues also carry magic ingredients on the top of the head. Measures 19" in length by 8" at width. The inner bowl is 7" deep and

African Mahogany Wood Carved Mask Art Framed Baluba Tribe (Luba, Louba, Balouba)
African Tribal Mask from the Luba(also known as Louba or Balouba) tribal region features an unusual dynamic of Cowrie shells placed upside down into the mask. This is not a common practice in the current dynamic where most of the masks found today are with beads only. We suspect this was a trade with another tribe to the east closer to the Congo River. This very distinguished feature of bead and shell is a rare find. It measures 9" across and 3.5 inches deep beautifully framed in a custom mahogany shadow box to match the wood the mask was carved in. Previous owner purchased in 1997 from a dealer. The mask is in perfect condition. The overall size of the custom shadow box frame is 21" high x 20.5" wide x 4" deep. No international orders or shipping please. If buyer is in the Los Angeles area. Local pick up(near the 405& ... more101 Fwy) can be arranged to save on shipping. Please ask questions prior to bidding, as all sales are final. Happy bidding!
