Das ist der Preis für die folgende Bewertung: Luba Kneeling Female Figure Dr Congo African, second half 20th cen



Beschreibung : Luba Kneeling Female Figure, DR Congo, African Additional Information: This kneeling female figure with Luba typical hairstyle and scarification on the torso  ,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 knees as symbol of respect and humility. She accepts witn humility 'her function as a 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 Aux Sources du Congo...
