Lulua River + weapons
I hope this thread will stir the Congo collectors. The name Lulua is rather catch all, people living on the Lulua River and being greatly influenced by surounding people, so I have read. Through the forum I acquired this example. I like the big scluptural slab form scabbard most of all, the blade is not bad too.
Look at the example shown in this piece of Lulua sculpture {A History Of Art In Africa, Thames & Hudson}.
How many forms can we display?
I would also like to show all the Congo folks this lulua mask, found this week. Quite rare I have read? I love it when I can add items that put the weapons in a social/cultural background. Pictures in a repy.
