*Sceptre, Kuba/Ndengese, Democratic Republic of Congo Wood L. 48 cm Provenance : Private collection, Switzerland This thick-handled scepter, whose patina and roughness testify to its age, is surmounted by a head carried by a long cylindrical neck marked with motifs in slight relief. The oblong head is carved in the extension of the neck, the face is flat and the chin is recessed. The thick, unbroken arch of the eyebrows extends to the temples, surmounting almond-shaped eyes with an absent look. The forehead and the flared temples testify to the ideal of beauty in Kuba Ndengese territory. This lot is temporarily imported and is subject to a 5.5% fee payable by the buyer in addition to the selling expenses and the hammer price.
