Prestigious Zula, Zuri, Wazula type neckrest, also called Luba-Maniema, established in the Democratic Republic of Congo in the north of the Luba territory.
Garnet brown glossy patina, small accidents.
An iconoclastic raid, under the influence of Islamic occupants, caused most of the ritual sculptures of the Zula to disappear. The latter nevertheless safeguarded the worship of the ancestors, the worship devoted to the Alunga spirit, and perpetuated the use of offerings to the spirits of nature.
Zula society, divided into castes, has its origins in the Luba. The Zulas became associated with the Arabs (Tippo Tip) during the 19th century in the ivory and slave trade.
