An Asante Linguist Staff Finial, "okyeame poma"

Item Details

Description

Oberteil eines Sprecherstabes, "okyeame poma"
Asante, Ghana
Ohne Sockel / without base
H 28,5 cm.

Provenienz:
- Galerie Walu, Zürich.
- Schweizer Privatsammlung, Zürich.

„Ein Sprecher macht des Häuptlings Worte süss.“ (Asante-Sprichwort).

Die okyeame genannten Sprecher und Berater der Regenten tragen als Amtszeichen einen aus Holz geschnitzten Würdestab (poma). Dieses Insigne besteht meist aus mehreren Teilen die zusammengesteckt und mit Blattgold oder Goldblech überzogen sind. An dessen oberen Ende wird sie von figürlichen Darstellungen gekrönt die Sprichwörter darstellen.

Die Verwendung dieser Amtszeichen geht auf das 17. Jahrhundert zurück. Es entwickelte sich damals - inspiriert durch die Stöcke mit Knauf, welche die europäischen Kaufleute mit sich trugen - der Brauch, dass Boten und Gesandte des Asante-Königs solche Stäbe als Zeichen ihrer Vollmacht mit sich trugen.
