CARYATID CUP
Chokwé culture, Angola
First half of the 20th century
Wood with shiny patina
H.: 26; Diam.: 7.5 cm

Monoxyl wooden cup, the foot of which is carved with a male character forming a caryatid. He stands crouching on a circular base, his hands placed on the ground, the cup balanced on the top of his head.

The belly of the latter has a shiny patina. The neck is engraved with a frieze of diamonds on a background of incised obliques.
