EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Luba Hemba stool, an exquisite wooden artifact originating from the Congo. Standing at a height of 42.5 cm, this ceremonial piece is part of a private collection and holds immense cultural significance. The stool's support structure is intricately carved into two anthropomorphic figures standing on a domed base. The female figure features scarification on her abdomen and boasts a bi-lobed coiffure, while the male figure displays a carved beard and an incised cruciform coiffure. Both figures have their arms raised to support the circular seat, creating an awe-inspiring display of craftsmanship. Every element of this stool tells its own story - from the stylized scars adorning the woman's body to the symbolic carvings on the man's head. This tribal furniture piece serves as both functional seating and artistic expression within traditional ceremonies. The photograph captures every detail with precision, allowing viewers to appreciate not only the skillful carving but also the rich cultural heritage behind it. It offers us glimpses into ancient rituals and traditions that have shaped Congolese society for generations. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this image in their collection, ensuring that this extraordinary artwork remains accessible for all to admire.
