Description : LUBA STAFF
Wood - 162 cm D.R. Congo
The staff is an important symbol of the royal power among the Luba people. Presenting very singular features, the staff can be related to different objects presenting these very geometric treatments for the faces and the ears. They all have been produced by the same carver :
- The Luba staff from the
Völkerkunde Museum of Munich collected by Fritz Mitchell in 1911 and published in Memory: Luba Art and the Making of History, page 161 (Robert and Roberts, 1996)
- A neckrest and a gure collected by Albert Emile Jules Wibier (1876 - 1952), the director of the radio services who stayed in Congo from 1911 to 1920 and donated his objects to the Royal Museum of Central Africa in Tervuren in 1953.
