Cup c. 20th century

This 20th century "Cup" by an unknown Kuba artist is a striking example of African art. Carved from wood, the cup is shaped as a human head with a distinct geometric pattern on the hair, a unique feature characteristic of Kuba art. The cup's form and detail illustrate the Kuba's exceptional skill in wood carving. This piece is part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art's collection, showcasing the diversity and beauty of African art.
