Kuba works from the 18th to the early 20th century, in the public domain, by artists whose names were not recorded. No museum in the Democratic Republic of the Congo publishes its collection online yet: these works are held by The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, named under each work, which publishes their photographs in the public domain (CC0). Title, date, materials and dimensions are taken from the museum's record.
