The catalogue description reads as follows, Luba rattles are central to divination practices for healing the sick and reversing misfortune. A Luba diviner enters a state of spirit possession through a combination of percussion and song. Female relatives sing the 'Song for Twins' to invoke the spirits' attention, while shaking rattles and ringing bells. Once the spirit has 'mounted' the diviner's head, the women continue to play the instruments in order to maintain the presence of the spirit throughout the duration of the consultation. It is the spirit who guides the diviner to cure the solution for a given problem (Mary Nooter Roberts and Allen F. Roberts, Memory: Luba Art and the Making of History.
