Title
English: Mother with Child (Lupingu lwa Cibola)
Description
English: A wood maternity figure of a woman holding a child which twists her arms. The face of the woman shows elaborate scarification. Below the chest the body is not well defined and narrows considerably. The navel is quite prominent but the remainder of the figure is like a staff. There is no indication of the legs etc. Condition: Good. From the waist down there is no body.
English: This ethereal and delicate Lulua maternity figure is considered one of the masterpieces of African art. When a woman lost children through miscarriages or infant death, she could be initiated into the Bwanga Bwa Cibola society, which used such figures to offer protection.
