A video to see it from all angles => VIDEO
Very interesting Luba statue from Kasai, we find the small gazelle horns stuck in the skull and containing magical materials from their neighbor Songye. It has a very significant patina of use, very oily (palm oil), it is worn on strategic points, the face to clean this "divinity" the breasts and the lower abdomen... because it has been frequently caressed by pregnant women so that everything goes well (deliveries are often fatal), important hairstyles in braids of fabrics and hair, it is a maternity protection fetish. 61 cm .
Former collection of Doctor Lucas in Reims.
