Finely carved Kuba cup with male figure as handle; tri-part globular cup has classic abstract designs incised on the surface. The designs include cross hatched, diamonds and bands of parallel lines. Several ciruclar-globular shapes are seen protruding on the center section; the figure has a classic Kuba style face, fluid interlocked arms and shoulders that cross the chest and form the handle of the cup.
