wood, encrusted patina, rest., base
Luba caryatid stools were considered a symbol of the highest royal power and authority. They were kept and guarded by the king’s first wife.
The caryatid figures of the throne stools are always female, in which the influential role of the woman in the society of the Luba is expressed. As the bearer of the throne, she supports the ruler and thus his worldly and sacral power.
