Item Details

Description

Title: Tabwa wooden statue - DRC, Congo - African Art Tribal Art

Item Category: Statue

Date/Period: Mid 20th century

Origin: DRC, Congo

Materials: Wood

Dimensions: 27,17 Inch

Weight: 6,31 Pounds

Note: Stand not included.

Additional Information: Displaying linear scarifications in checkerboards, this sculpted character also sports a headdress in small diamonds. His posture remains classic, hands symbolically placed on the abdomen, evoking the importance of lineage, transmission, and seat of knowledge. The Luba dominated the Tabwa in the region along Lake Tanganyika, between Zaire and Zambia. "Tabwa" or "to be tied down" presumably refers to the system of slavery once practiced by Islamic merchants. The Tabwa then regained their independence thanks to the wealth provided by the ivory trade. Just as the influence of the Luba is perceptible in the societies and rites of the Tabwa, the Tanzanian tribes have also marked the Tabwa statuary with regard to geometric decorative motifs.
