Product description
This object is a hand-carved wooden cup with a lid, crafted by the artisans of Art-Kuba Mweka from the Democratic Republic of Congo. The piece is an authentic example of the rich artistic traditions of the Kuba Kingdom, known for its complex and symbolic geometric patterns.
The cup is skillfully turned and carved from a single piece of wood, with a removable lid adorned with an eight-pointed star. The body and base of the cup feature deeply incised, contrasting textures characteristic of the Kuba style. The two-tone finish, with both dark-colored and natural wood parts, emphasizes the complexity of the carving. The bottom is clearly marked with the stamp "ART-KUBA MWEKA", confirming its origin.
The overall condition of the cup is good, with a patina consistent with its age and handmade nature. The wood shows a natural warmth and texture that has been enriched over the years. The object is complete with its accompanying, well-fitting lid.
This Kuba cup is a distinctive decorative element that adds a touch of worldly sophistication to any interior. It is particularly suitable for display on a sideboard, in a bookcase, or as part of a collection of ethnographic art.
