Catalogue Note
Cette rare lance d'apparat se distingue par la richesse de son ornementation incluant, sculptées en ronde bosse dans le fût, une figure féminine parée de la coiffure traditionnelle des Lwena : en bandeau strié; et, ponctuant le sommet, une tête pareillement ornée, aux traits finement modelés. Belle patine nuancée, brun rouge.
