Description

Figur (no reserve price)
Teke, DR Kongo
Gesockelt (base included)
Holz. H 30 cm.

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

Die Teke (ca. 800’000 Menschen) gehören zu den Bantuvölkern. Sie leben überwiegend auf dem savannenbedeckten Hochplateau im Grenzgebiet der Republik Kongo, der Demokratischen Republik Kongo und der Republik Gabun. Ihre Kosmologie kennt nebst der realen Welt ein unsichtbares Paralleluniversum über das der Schöpfer Nziam herrscht. Sie gehen davon aus, dass ihre Seelen dort wieder auferstehen. Die Verehrung der Ahnen und der Naturgeister, welche durch Gebete und Opfer gütig gestimmt werden sollten, spielten Folge dessen im Alltag der Teke eine zentrale Rolle.

Persönlichen Schutzfiguren, wie die hier angebotene, werden als Schnittstellen zwischen diesseitigen und übernatürlichen Kräften eingesetzt um das Gute zu fördern und das Negative abzuwenden.

Das Autorität ausstrahlende Gesicht ist ganzflächig bis an die Schläfen mit feinsten Rillen versehen die den edlen Narbenschmuck darstellen, der ranghohen Notabeln vorbehalten war. Der geöffnete Mund über dem energisch vorstossenden Kinnbart und die markanten Augen verleihen der kubischen Figur eine erstaunliche Präsenz. Die Vertiefung im Oberkörper war ursprünglich mit „magischen“ Substanzen gefüllt, deren Wirkung durch Rituale entfalten wurde.
