Kopfaufsatz, "tjiwara"
Bamana, Mali
Gesockelt (base included)
Holz. H 86 cm.

Provenienz:
Schweizer Privatsammlung.

Das Kitz auf dem Rücken der Antilope ist nicht das Original. Das Original ist irgendwann abgebrochen und ein nachgeschnitzter Ersatz wurde später angefügt.

Die bekanntesten Bamana-Schnitzwerke sind vermutlich die abstrakten Antilopen der tjiwara-Initiationsgemeinschaft, die auf dem Kopf der Tänzer getragen wurden.

Sie spielten auf die mythische Urzeit an, in welcher die Antilope als Kulturbringer den Menschen das Getreide schenkte und sie den Feldbau lehrte. Sie standen somit für Fruchtbarkeit und Fortpflanzung sowohl des Feldes als auch der Menschen.

Die Aufsatzmasken traten anlässlich dreier Feierlichkeiten stets paarweise auf: beim gelegentlichen Wettjäten, bei Freudentänzen nach der Feldarbeit mit vorausgehender ritueller Schlangenjagd und beim zweitägigen Jahresfest der Initiationsgemeinschaft, bei dem unter anderem das Dorf gesegnet wurde.

Condition

The kid on the back of the Antelope is not the original. The original has been broken off somewhen, and a replacement has been carved and added later on.
