Description: | This staff was made by Luba people of Eastern Congo. The vertical rod on top of the head indicates an influence from Songye people. The excellent carving and the addition of metal and cloth near the top of the staff, show that this is not a mere walking stick, but has some significance either as a status symbol or for use in ceremonies.
