Pipe c. mid 20th century

This pipe, created by the Yaka artist, is a striking example of African art from the mid-20th century. Carved from wood and adorned with intricate designs, the pipe showcases the Yaka people's artistic talent. The long stem and the detailed bowl suggest the pipe was not only a functional object but also a symbol of status and cultural significance. It is currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, where it continues to be admired for its craftsmanship and cultural relevance.
