Severed top of staff-sceptre (Eastern Luba) - EO.1951.9.6
1st quarter of the 19th century. RD Congo. Registered in 1951. Acquired from G. Chauveau.
By removing the non-figurative part of this staff, one of its European owners has also amputated an important part of the iconography. Was this a misupi sceptre staff, or a kibango?
