Ethnic Design-Anthropomorphic ceramic vessel, Luba People, DRC.
About the Item
This vessel vividly illustrates anthropomorphic design through its bold depiction of a human-like figure. The spout is sculpted as an open-mouthed face, complete with stylized eyes and a rounded head, giving the impression of a vocal or expressive figure. The body of the vessel is broad and rounded, evoking the human torso, while surface patterns suggest body decoration or symbolic markings. The handle may be interpreted as an abstract arm, enhancing the bodily association. Vessels like this not only serve functional or ceremonial purposes but also embody a powerful visual link to the human form, emphasizing emotional or spiritual dimensions.
