Statuette (1) - Wood - Luba - Congo DRC
LUBA Statuette Very particular and moving statuette, because used by a woman healer, looking after young mothers who can not breastfeed. We must therefore invoke the ancestors to remedy this situation. Thus, we see the woman represented supporting her two breasts swollen with milk. The facial expression reveals the urgent prayer to the forefathers: the closed eyes, the hairstyle drawn towards heavens, ears erect to receive the oracle. Living and moving piece for who can understand it.
