AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Excellent memory board for recording facts and events about the ethnic group. "Hard drive" for storing information about the village. The arrangement and the colors or sizes of the beads fixed to the board with splinters carried a specific reading. Well-crafted, detailed sculpture of a Luba head and a good natural patina from prolonged use.

Seller's Story

PRIMITIVE ART IN GENERAL, ESPECIALLY AFRICAN. ORIGINATING FROM PRIVATE COLLECTIONS OR ACQUIRED AT PROFESSIONAL GALLERIES OR INTERNATIONAL AUCTIONS.
