Staff c. 20th century

This carved wooden staff, created by the Mbuun artist, is a striking example of African art. The staff features a stylized human head at the top, with a geometric pattern carved into the lower portion. It is likely that this staff played a ceremonial role, possibly used in rituals or dances. This piece, now housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, provides insight into the rich cultural traditions of the Mbuun people.
