The geographic origin of this stick/sign of rank is certain thanks to the typical headgear used by the Lwena.
The great synthesis characteristic of African Art, which so influenced the work of many European artists of the last century, materialises in this object thanks to the skilful work of the sculptor who, with just a few strokes of the knife, brings out from the wood the perfectly proportioned and expressive face of the dignitary represented.
Enriched with similar studs or screws carved into the base.
Beautiful light hardwood patina and signs of use.
