Description

Figur, "kronkronbale"
Ewe, Togo
Ohne Sockel / without base
Terrakotta. H 31 cm

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

kronkronbale ( "Kinder aus früheren Zeiten") genannte Tonfiguren stammen aus dem Gebiet entlang des Mono-Flusses dessen Unterlauf die Grenze zwischen Togo und Benin bildet.

Sie stehen auch heute noch auf Ahnenaltären und werden unter anderem mit Hirsebrei beopfert. Von Voodoo-Priestern rituell besprochen, erhalten sie die Macht, bestimmte, an sie gerichtete Aufträge zu erfüllen.
