Object: A Fine Luba Gameboard
Size: 18" Tall
Age: 19th Century
Provenance: Drs. Jean and Noble Endicott
Notes: Gameboards can be found all throughout Africa;
but Congolese gameboards such as this example are
scarce. This board has a superb patina exhibiting
generations of use. The wood is iron hard and what is
truely amazing is the finger indentations inside the boxes;
this speaks to the countless games that were played with
this object. The head is original and its features are
completely obliterated from excessive handling.
