Description

Translated with Google Translate. Original text show .

Fortune tellers are the master problem solvers of Luba society; responsible for addressing crises or conflicts that threaten the well-being of individuals and communities. They use baskets, pots and vessels like this type, cleverly carved from a single block of wood, to store medicinal herbs to cure people with disease. The female figures on both sides of the vessel are seen as husbands of the spirits whom the fortune tellers consult and who are credited with healing powers. The two lizards on top of the barrel protect the contents of the barrel and are part of the Luba mythology.

Beautiful large and richly decorated copy. Will be well packaged and shipped via PostNL.
