Descripción : A Luba carving possibly representing a female ancestor.The Luba excel at the veneration of feminine beauty and motherhood, 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. This piece shows wear which signifies its age and use. 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. 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. Their impact on the art world has been extraordinary. Recommended Reading: F, Neyt, LUBA. TO THE SOURCES OF THE ZAIRE, 1993, Musee Dapper: Paris
