LUBA ZAIRE, EARLY 20TH C. CARVED ROYAL WOODEN SCEPTER.
Length 23.25 inches. Repaired break to bottom section.
Luba royal scepter Nigeria, 19th century The scepter surmounted by a feminine theme in iconography must be linked in part to the matrilineal organization of Luba society. With the effigy representing the founding mother of the dynasty. The kibango or a ceremonial sword were part of the regalia passed on from generation to generations; the sovereign did not move without the emblem, which may also be planted on the ground during war .
