EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the 1800s, originating from the heart of Africa in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The bow stand, crafted by the skilled hands of the Luba people, is a testament to their rich cultural heritage and artistic prowess. Made primarily from wood and plant fiber, this exquisite piece measures approximately 57.9 x 23 x 10 cm (22 13/16 x 9 1/16 x 3 15/16 in. ) without its base. Its intricate design reflects both functionality and aesthetic beauty. The bow stand served as an essential tool for archers during hunting or warfare activities within Luba society. It provided stability and support for bows when not in use, ensuring they remained protected and ready for action at all times. Beyond its practical purpose, this bow stand also holds significant symbolic value within Luba culture. It represents strength, skill, and unity among warriors who relied on these weapons to defend their communities. As we admire this extraordinary artifact through the lens of history captured in this print from Liszt Collection, let us appreciate not only its physical attributes but also recognize it as a tangible link to an ancient civilization that thrived amidst Africa's vast landscapes centuries ago.
