Description

Democratic Republic of Congo

Lulua rider figure

The different types of statues Luluwa, Lulua, or Béna Lulua, present multiple scarifications and glorify the local chiefs, motherhood, fertility and the female figure. This rider sports a prominent umbilicus, center of the body and "object of all solicitudes" (The power of the sacred, M. Faik-Nzuji) Protruding, erogenous and symbolic scarifications, circles and checkered rectangles, differentiate it. He has a necklace-talisman in the form of a figurine, a fly repellent on the shoulder, and a shield. His sword is missing. Desiccation cracks. Satin chocolate patina. It is in the south of the Democratic Republic of Congo that the Lulua, or Béna Lulua, from West Africa have settled.
