Cephalomorphic divinatory frame or "Katatora" (Luba, DR of Congo) Dense wood, beads H. 29 cm A tool of divination, the "Katatora" is its materialization, its sign. It allows us to connect the heights of the sky to the depths of the earth. This large divinatory frame is surmounted by a feminine figurine with a hairstyle extended towards the back, characteristic of Luba statuary. The long neck is decorated with glass beads. The face is particularly serene.
