A finely carved Congolese two-headed or double wooden Kuba cup with a dark brown patina, first half of the 20th C.

H 16 cm

This palm wine cup has two bowls, each in one of the two opposite-facing heads. The great balance of the composition and the delicacy of the faces make this cup a remarkable piece. The two heads each with scarification in relief about the face, cross-hatched coiffures, on circular flanged foot, carved geometric ornament at the junction of the two heads, glossy black patina.
