This beautiful Luba female figure from the Democratic Republic of Congo and Zambia represents a divination rite practiced by spiritual leaders in Luba communities. Hand-carved from wood, the figure depicts a woman holding a bowl — a sacred symbol used in traditional divination rituals.
Diviners would place symbolic items in the bowl, shake them, and interpret their new positions to predict the future or guide community decisions. The statue is finished with a rich, aged patina, showing its cultural use and historical depth.
A powerful and elegant piece of African tribal art, perfect for collectors, curators, or those seeking meaningful decor rooted in ancestral wisdom and cultural ritual.
