Item Details

Description

Fingerring, Zwei Hände die ein Herz halten
Asante, Ghana
Ohne Sockel / without base
Goldlegierung. Oberfläche mit Fertigvergoldung in hohem Feingehalt. H 2,2 cm. Ø Ringmass: 49 (US: 5,25)

Provenienz:
Denise David (1928-2011), Zürich.

Dem wertvollen Edelmetall der ehemaligen „Goldküste“ Afrikas galt Jahrhunderte lang das Interesse und Verlangen der afrikanischen und europäischen Kaufleute. Durch den Handel stiegen mächtige Staaten auf, deren Reichtum und Fertigkeit in der Goldverarbeitung zur Legende wurden. So entstanden an den Königshöfen der Akan meisterhafte Schmuckstücke in hoch entwickelten Herstellungsverfahren, v.a. aber im Wachsausschmelzverfahren.

Noch heute dient der Goldschmuck als Zeichen von Rang und Zugehörigkeit bei Festlichkeiten der königlichen Familien. Die starke Aussagekraft dieser Unikate widerspiegelt die reiche Metaphorik der Akan und gründet auf der Tradition der hoch geschätzten Redekunst.

Die dargestellten Motive weisen stets auf Personen, Tiere oder Gegenstände hin, die allegorisch für lobenswerte Eigenschaften und Sinnsprüche stehen.
