LUBA STYLE BOXES, Dem. Rep. Congo

Most Luba art relates to kings and important chiefs, who defined their power by the display of prestige objects during important ceremonies.

Despite their traditional form and appearance, these boxes exhibit few signs of use or age and were probably made to be sold.
