Figur, "blolo-bla"
(TRIBAL ART)
Baule, Côte d’Ivoire
Gesockelt (base included)
Holz. H 38 cm.

Provenienz:
Nachlass Kurt Hösli-Brutschin (1928-2006), Basel.

Die Zuordnung der Baule-Figuren ist ausserhalb des gesellschaftlichen Kontexts und im Nachhinein schwierig.

Allgemein wird der Verwendung nach zwischen symbolischen Partnern aus der „anderen Welt“ und Wahrsage-Figuren unterschieden, wobei die Grenze zwischen diesen Gruppen häufig fliessend war.

Die liebevollen blolo-bla- und blolo-bian-Figuren gründen auf der Vorstellung, dass jeder Baule im Jenseits (blolo = andere Welt) einen spirituellen Partner, d.h. eine Ehefrau (bla) oder einen Ehemann (bian), hat und bestrebt sein muss, mit diesem in bester Beziehung zu leben. Gelingt ihm dies nicht, macht ihm sein Jenseits-Partner das Leben schwer.

Die eher beopferten „Wahrsage-Figuren“ werden asye-usu genannt und stehen in Verbindung zu sämtlichen ungezähmten Dingen der Natur. Sie wurden bei rituellen Handlungen zur Erlangung der Aufmerksamkeit der Buschgeister eingesetzt. Diese omnipräsenten Wesen galt es stets zu besänftigen, auch weil sie als äusserst launisch galten und gelegentlich Besitz von Unvorsichtigen ergreifen konnten.

Weiterführende Literatur: Vogel, Susan M. (1997). Baule. Yale: University Press.
