Chokwe Women's caryatid wood seat - Angola - African

Item Details

Description

Title: Chokwe Women's caryatid wood seat - Angola - African Art Tribal Art

Type: Stool, seat, chair

Date/Period: Mid 20th century

Origin: Angola

Dimension: 13,78 Inch

Weight: 8,16 Pounds

Material: Wood, metal

Note: Stand not included.

Additional Information: A piece of African furniture, monoxyle, this prestigious stool illustrates attachment to ancestors, through the sculpted figure that supports the seat. It symbolizes power and fertility through maternal lineage. The chiefs chokwe had a major function in the rites of propitiation intended for the hunting and fertility of women, objects exalting the power providing protection. Desication cracks.
Paisiblely settled in eastern Angola until the 16th century, the Chokwé were then subjected to the Lunda empire from which they inherited a new hierarchical system and the sanctity of power. Nevertheless, the Chokwé never fully embraced these new social and political contributions. Three centuries later, they eventually seized the capital of the Lunda, weakened by internal conflicts, thus contributing to the dismantling of the kingdom. The Chokwé had no centralized power but great chiefdoms. They were the ones who attracted artists who wanted to put their know-how at the exclusive service of the court. The artists created so many varied pieces of such quality that the Lunda court employed only them. As early as the 18th century, exchanges with Europeans, the Portuguese in particular, influenced their sculptures.
