Description

Pende cups are used in Africa to drink palm wine or locally brewed beer from plain or elaborately decorated cups that replicate the facial features found on wooden masks that represented behaviors to emulate or avoid. The face on this cup is carved in the form of a standing figure with its hands resting on either side of its torso or face.
