African Seated Luba Figure
About the Item
Artisans from the Luba tribe were renowned for the organic flow of their carving style. This example clearly shows the smooth transition from aspect to aspect, maintaining a singular sheen and surface. The slight tilt of the head combines with the seated posture to convey a sense of contemplation, as if the sculpture is considering the words of an unseen subject. Diminutive in nature, this quietly expressive individual retains an incredible soul as a sculptural object.
