The traditional carvings are for ancestor and spirit cults, for initiation, medical and divination purposes. The favorite theme in sculpture was woman since according to a Luba myth vilie was the first woman spirit, founder of the clan and guarantor of fertility and the lineage. The depiction of the female form in Luba art is sometimes a reference to a particular named woman in Luba history, such as the mother of a chief or king, or a wife who was sent to establish a new domain in an outlying territory. More often, however, it is a generic representation of the feminine dimensions of Luba power that alone can ensure the blessing of the spirits. Women were cult guardians, and the royal wives played an important role: sent as emissaries to the chiefs of neighboring ethnicities, they would contract profitable political alliances based on marriage.
