Item Details

Description

Figürlicher Sitz, "adwa"
Asante, Ghana
Ohne Sockel / without base
Holz. H 29 cm (Sitzhöhe: 23 cm). B 47,5 cm.

Provenienz:
- Galerie Walu, Zürich.
- Helmut (1931-2021) und Marianne Zimmer, Zürich.

Die den ranghohen Notabeln vorbehaltenen Sitze sind bis heute Symbol von Würde und Macht.

Sie sind die wichtigsten Regalien der Asante-Regenten. Je nachdem variiert ihre Rolle vom einfachen Gebrauchsgegenstand sowie als Symbol des ganzen Staates.

Zwischen Besitzer und Sitz besteht eine ganz besondere Intimität: Die Asante-Weisheit besagt, dass es zwischen ihnen keine Geheimnisse gibt.

Die Sitze (in der Twi-Sprache "dwa" oder "adwa" genannt) werden von Hinterbliebenen so lange als Memorabilien aufbewahrt, bis sich niemand mehr an die einstigen Besitzer erinnern kann.

Weiterführende Literatur:

CHF 800 / 1 200
EUR 800 / 1 200

Condition

Seating surface completely broken off (broken once each on both arms and legs) and joined. One thumb fixed with a nail.

Sitzfläche komplett abgebrochen (an beiden Arme und Beinen je einmal gebrochen) und angefügt. Ein Daumen mit einem Nagel fixiert.
