From the museum record

This is a fine example of art produced for sale to European visitors in the Lower Congo River area. A long history of cultural and artistic interactions between Africans and Europeans began in 1482, when the Portuguese first established diplomatic ties with the rulers of the Kongo kingdoms. Note the image of a foreign merchant pouring whiskey from a keg.

Lupin’s visual index

A highly detailed ivory arch displays a series of sculpted figures and decorative patterns against a dark background.
