Beautifully carved hardwood statue of a woman with many scarifications and a bulging belly (umbilical hernia?) Among the Luluwa, Lulua or Bena Lulua, these types of images glorify motherhood, fertility and the female figure. This statue can stand alone. I see that the feet and crest have been repaired, but neatly and with some drought cracks. Under the right foot the word "mukeba" is carved.
