Item Details

Description

Wurfmesser, "osele"
Kota, Gabun
Ohne Sockel / without base
Eisen, Holz, Bronze, Kupfer. L 33 cm.

Provenienz:
- Peter und Veena Schnell, Zürich.
- Galerie Walu, Basel.

Zeremonialwaffen zeichnen sich durch sorgfältige Herstellung und dekorative Gestaltung, zB. der Verzierung mit wertvollen Materialien wie Kupfer, Bronze, Elfenbein oder Fell, aus.

Die ursprünglich Funktion ist damit eingeschränkt, so dass eine Verwendung als Kampfwaffe nicht mehr im Vordergrund steht. Vielmehr signalisieren sie den sozialen Status und die Macht des Trägers und sind damit eher Kult-, Prunk-, Würde- und Statuswaffen die auch im Tauschhandel Verwendung fanden.
