Female Figure Carrying A Jar – Luba People, Dr Congo
Sculpture representing a standing woman, carrying a large jar on her head. This type of figure is typical of the Luba and evokes motherhood, transmission, and the central role of women in society. The container, sometimes interpreted as a symbol of wisdom or power, also refers to ritual objects used to preserve sacred substances. The treatment of the body, the stylized scarifications, and the posture testify to the refinement of the Luba workshops.
