<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 4123839, member: 8267&quot;]I thought it might be of interest to see all that have been found in one place, for comparison. There were actually 3 listed on iCollector, all described as coming from a private collection, collected between 1910 and 1930, and attributed to the Kuba. With a starting price of $150, none sold in the 2016 auction.</p><p><br /></p><p>All look like they may have been made by the same hand. They also seem to have repairs and variations of what may be artificial ageing/patination that make me somewhat suspicious.</p><p><br /></p><p>It would be nice to find a better documented example.</p><p><img src="https://dygtyjqp7pi0m.cloudfront.net/i/27255/24089700_3.jpg?v=8D3269D7DAECAA0" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><a href="https://www.icollector.com/1-of-3-African-Kuba-Anthropomorphic-cup-Democratic_i24089700" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.icollector.com/1-of-3-African-Kuba-Anthropomorphic-cup-Democratic_i24089700" rel="nofollow">https://www.icollector.com/1-of-3-African-Kuba-Anthropomorphic-cup-Democratic_i24089700</a></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://dygtyjqp7pi0m.cloudfront.net/i/27255/24089701_1.jpg?v=8D3269D7DAECAA0" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><a href="https://www.icollector.com/2-of-3-African-Kuba-Anthropomorphic-cup-Democratic_i24089701" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.icollector.com/2-of-3-African-Kuba-Anthropomorphic-cup-Democratic_i24089701" rel="nofollow">https://www.icollector.com/2-of-3-African-Kuba-Anthropomorphic-cup-Democratic_i24089701</a></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://dygtyjqp7pi0m.cloudfront.net/i/27255/24089702_3.jpg?v=8D3269D7DAECAA0" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><a href="https://www.icollector.com/3-of-3-African-Kuba-Anthropomorphic-cup-Democratic_i24089702" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.icollector.com/3-of-3-African-Kuba-Anthropomorphic-cup-Democratic_i24089702" rel="nofollow">https://www.icollector.com/3-of-3-African-Kuba-Anthropomorphic-cup-Democratic_i24089702</a></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.antiquers.com/attachments/d65d595d-30fd-4cca-95b4-0066a37b3bb8-jpeg.300484/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><a href="https://www.antiquers.com/threads/palm-wine-cup.57514/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.antiquers.com/threads/palm-wine-cup.57514/">https://www.antiquers.com/threads/palm-wine-cup.57514/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>This one is described as African American folk art:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]331023[/ATTACH]</p><p><a href="http://ancientpoint.com/inf/191282-antique_plantation_black_americana_folk_art_carved_wood_face_jug_pitcher_nr_yqz.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://ancientpoint.com/inf/191282-antique_plantation_black_americana_folk_art_carved_wood_face_jug_pitcher_nr_yqz.html" rel="nofollow">http://ancientpoint.com/inf/191282-antique_plantation_black_americana_folk_art_carved_wood_face_jug_pitcher_nr_yqz.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Adding one more located by [USER=20447]@James Desbiens[/USER]:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.pinimg.com/564x/e2/cc/0e/e2cc0e62ba130ec9e7333318039f021b.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><a href="https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/6543938_319-african-face-jug-pitcher-carved-wood-and-measure" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/6543938_319-african-face-jug-pitcher-carved-wood-and-measure" rel="nofollow">https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/6543938_319-african-face-jug-pitcher-carved-wood-and-measure</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
