I hope this thread will stir the Congo collectors. The name Lulua is rather catch all, people living on the Lulua River and being greatly influenced by surounding people, so I have read. Through the forum I acquired this example. I like the big scluptural slab form scabbard most of all, the blade is not bad too.
Look at the example shown in this piece of Lulua sculpture {A History Of Art In Africa, Thames & Hudson}. How many forms can we display? I would also like to show all the Congo folks this lulua mask, found this week. Quite rare I have read? I love it when I can add items that put the weapons in a social/cultural background. Pictures in a repy. |

The mask and to my uneducated eye is Lulua not Chokwe? Especially when looking at the piece of scupture, again from the afore mentioned publication.

Hi Tim,
These knives are generally from the Luba (from Kasaļ), Lulua an Kete. But also Kuba tribes. Here some different forms. |

Thanks for the great pictures chaps. I am sure many enjoyed them. I am most pleased with the mask find and just had to show it.
