Pende Palm Wine Cup
This lovely, honey colored palm wine cup was acquired by collector Robert Keating between the year 1970 and 1972 in Kinshasa, Zaire. It was apparently the only Pende cup he collected. At the time this cup had about twenty years of wear on it. Along with the handsome face the carving is lovingly detailed in the coiffure with pyro-engraved circular markings on the cheeks and neck which doubles as the cups foot. There is a small bit of old loss on the rim which does not detract from the overall beauty of the object. 6.5″ tall.
