PRESENTING a STUNNING piece if West African Tribal Art, namely 19C Congolese Luba Figural Hair Comb or Pick.
Made in the Congo by the Luba Tribe, circa 19470-60.
On a simple stand, it features a beautifully hand carved Warrior sitting on the comb or pick end with cross hatch decoration.
The facial features of the warrior are superb as is the detail.
In very good original condition, with only some very minor loss to one or two of the pick tips.
Acquired by a private Dallas Collector on a safari trip to the Congo in the 1970’s.
The Luba people or Baluba are an ethno-linguistic group indigenous to the south-central region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.[2] Majority of them live in this country, residing mainly in its Katanga, Kasai, and Maniema provinces. The Baluba consist of many sub-groups who speak various dialects of Luba (e.g. Luba-Kasai, Luba-Katanga) or other languages, such as Swahili.
