Kuba cup (N° 28465) Deposit sale

Belgian collection of African tribal art The Kuba are renowned for the refinement of the prestige objects created for members of the high ranks of their society. The Lele live to the west of the Kuba kingdom and share common cultural specificities with the Bushoong of the Kuba country. Both groups decorate their prestige objects with similar motifs. The only ethnic group to create a variety of lidded containers in which individual goods were stored, the Kuba decorated them with motifs similar to those of embroidered textiles. This is a small cup in which the ingredients of remedies or the elements of ritual anointings were crushed. Glossy patina of use. Minor accidents.
