Kuba royal cup - SOLD OUT
Reserved for the use of chiefs and notables, the African Kuba cups are part of the permanent competition for prestige. Drum-shaped cups were designed for them, according to E. Torday at the Wongo, among the Kuba themselves, there are regional variations, for example among the Shoowa, lovers of cutting on foot.
On this section, we observe beautiful patterns composed of interlacing interlacing (Nnaam). The cylindrical neck is fully engraved with a geometric decoration corresponding to the Makwoonglmatey design. This noble-shaped cup takes on the appearance of the drum, says Bukit.
