Descrizione : Figural carved rattle Luba, D. R. Kongo wood, nuts, dark brown and reddish brown patina, staff-shaped corpus, applied with bowl-shaped nuts with slits, filled with seeds, fixed by a small wooden plug at the bottom, crowned by a fine carved kneeling female figure with elaborate details (coiffure, scarification marks, neckrings), slightly dam., paint rubbed off, on blocklike base, 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 diviners head, the women continue to play the instruments in order to maintain the presence of the spirit throughout the duration of the consultation.
