The British Museum holds the Luzira Head, also known as Mpanga head; it's a unique terracotta bust of a woman with narrow and protruding mouth with mattered hair which falls either sides -- and it's estimated to be about 1000 years old.

It's one of the oldest Sub-saharran sculptures to be discovered in Africa. The sculpture is among the 'Luzira Collection' artefacts which were excavated by the British between 1929 and 1930 as they as unearthed the foundations for Luzira Maximum Security Prison.

The Luzira collection also consists of other fourteen broken terracotta pieces and more than one hundred pot sherds. It also includes objects such as an axe.

Other looted artefacts

Four years ago, Bunyoro Kingdom's leader King Solomon Iguru took a legal action against the British government for theft and destruction of property.

The kingdom claimed that Pitt Rivers Museum refused to return important looted artefacts, including the traditional nine-legged throne on which all Iguru's predecessors sat.

In response, director of the museum said the stool being held at Pitt Rivers Museum was collected in Bunyoro in 1919-1920 and is not the one stolen by Colonel Henry Colville in 1894.
