LUBA !! Rare Antique African Carved Wood Fertility Statue with Stand - Possibly Congolese Luba

RARE ANTIQUE AFRICAN CARVED WOOD FERTILITY STATUE WITH STURDY TRANSPARENT ACRYLIC STAND - POSSIBLY CONGOLESE LUBA TRIBE

AN EXTREMELY RARE ANTIQUE CARVED WOOD AFRICAN STATUE WHICH BASED ENTIRELY UPON THE STYLE AND DESIGN, IS A FEMALE FERTILITY STATUE FROM THE CONGOLESE LUBA TRIBE.   THIS STATUE HAS NO FEET AND HAS A FEW SMALL CRACKS IN THE WOOD WHICH IS CERTAINLY COMMENSURATE WITH ITS ADVANCED AGE. 

THE STATUE COMES WITH A STURDILY DESIGNED STAND WHICH CONSISTS OF A SOLID TRANSPARENT ACRYLIC BASE FROM WHICH A METAL SHAFT EMERGES.  ATTACHED TO THE METAL SHAFT AT THE TOP IS AN ACRYLIC LOOP ARM WHICH THE STATUE THEN FITS SECURELY INTO

I HAVE ADDED LINKS WITH A VARIETY OF AFRICAN & OTHER ARTEFACTS TO PERHAPS ASSIST IN IDENTIFYING THIS ITEMS ORIGIN.   THE STATUE IS ANTIQUE AND A DECORATIVE COLLECTABLE PIECE

STAMPS/MARKS ETC : THE ITEM IS NOT STAMPED, SIGNED OR MARKED
