Seat Of The Notable Of Tabwa, Congo (drc)
I’d like to offer you this superb and rare Tabwa chair.
As neighbors of the Lubas, they often draw inspiration from them for their depictions of women, as seen here, but the long facial and abdominal scarifications, as well as the ponytail, are very typical of this ethnic group. This is a very rare antique piece on the market; there is a rather similar example in the British Museum.
Beautiful patina from use; height: 50 cm.
