Lotuko pendant - Latuka Brustschmuck Rare leaf-shaped wrought copper pendant. Height 19 cm. This pendant had been worn on the chest by a Lotuko man in the Lopit Hills. A similar pedant was acquired by Samuel P. Powell, and given on loan to the Pitt Rivers Museum in 1940. http://southernsudan.prm./details/1940.7.094/ Pitt Rivers Museum say: The form of this pendant may be imitating a shield, as suggested by shape of the body with raised rib down the centre, although it has clearly been designed to hang with the two points upwards. This differs somewhat from known Lotuko shield types, which have their points facing downwards (see last picture); these also have a more elongated body type with waisted middle and slit top. Alternatively, it could represent a bladed weapons such as a spearhead, although the body seems rather broad for this and the same objection holds with regard to its orientation. Another similar pendant you can purchase in an upcoming auction (12th Febr. 2008) from the German auction house "Quittenbaum" in Munich . T it is lot 1190 and valued with $ 1110. http://catalog.quittenbaum.de/object_detail_Brustschmuck_Dinka_Sudan__42311__list_objects__M_071__0__eng It's up to you, we start with 1 US Dollar......unbelievable.
