Item Details

Description

Bronze-Stab
Bwa / Gurunsi, Burkina Faso
Mit Sockel / with base
Gelbguss. H 55 cm.

Provenienz:
- Galerie Walu, Zürich, Schweiz (vor 1996).
- Hammer Auktionen Basel, Schweiz. Auktion 40, 27.04.2019, Lot 25.
- Schweizer Privatsammlung, St. Gallen, Schweiz.

Der Begriff Gurunsi bezeichnet keine einzelne ethnischen Gruppe, sondern eine Reihe von Ethnien im südlichen Burkina Faso und im nördlichen Ghana, die sich trotz der linguistischen Verwandtschaft (Gurunsi-Sprache) kulturell unterscheiden. Es sind dies im Wesentlichen die Nuna, Nunuma, Lyélé, Winiama, Sisaala und Kassena.

Die Bwa leben nördlich der Gurunsi, im Zentrum von Burkina Faso und im Südosten von Mali.

Die Herstellung von Bronze-Objekten im Wachsausschmelzverfahren ist von Ghana bis Mali eine seit Urzeiten gepflegte Tradition. Der hier angebotene Stab stammt vermutlich aus dem Umfeld eines hochangesehenen Wahrsagers.
