Large caryatid stool seat luba Congo Rdc. Luba People Galerie De La Louve Arts Premiers
   
Congo drc


Superb luba caryatid stool



This superb stool presents a very particular architecture, where the shoulders and the chest merge in a spectacular way, the latter emerging at the elbow.

This style is rare, but an headrest from the Museum of Tervuren has very similar characteristics, it is published in «La tête dans les Étoiles», see bibliography) (Photo on request)
Another Luba stool also presents this particularity in «Atlantes & Caryatides» page 33

According to its former owner, this stool was harvested in a village located a few tens of kilometers from Kongolo, on the edge of Songye country.

Which would not be at all surprising, because this work is a vigorous sculpture stylistically close to the Songye art, powerful and cubist, softened by the delicacy of the Luba artists
