Staff 19th-20th century

This 19th-20th century wooden staff, carved by the artist Lulua, is a striking example of African art. Featuring two intricately carved human faces, this staff likely served a ceremonial or ritualistic purpose. The staff's elongated form and stylized facial features demonstrate the artistic skill of the Lulua people and their ability to express symbolism through carving. The "Staff" is currently on display at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
