Basket-Form Kuba Tukula Box

The Kuba are among the Congo’s largest groups and most artistically prolific. Traditionally they produced a vast array of objects in wood as well as basketry, textiles and metalwork. This unusual box, used for the storage of tukula cosmetic powder, bridges multiple worlds: it is carved from wood in the form of a basket and bears patterns of classic Kuba weaving.
