Figur, "buti"
Teke, DR Kongo
Gesockelt / with custom base
Holz. H 17 cm.

Provenienz:
- vermutl. Maria Wyss, Basel.
- Hannah Salathé (1926-2012), Basel.
- Schweizer Nachlass Basel.

Die Teke (ca. 800Â’000 Menschen) gehÃ¶ren zu den BantuvÃ¶lkern. Sie leben Ã¼berwiegend 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 Ã¼ber das der SchÃ¶pfer Nziam herrscht. Sie gehen davon aus, dass ihre Seelen dort wieder auferstehen. Die Verehrung der Ahnen und der Naturgeister, welche durch Gebete und Opfer gÃ¼tig gestimmt werden sollten, spielten Folge dessen im Alltag der Teke eine zentrale Rolle.

PersÃ¶nlichen Schutzfiguren, wie die hier angebotene, werden als Schnittstellen zwischen diesseitigen und Ã¼bernatÃ¼rlichen KrÃ¤ften eingesetzt um das Gute zu fÃ¶rdern und das Negative abzuwenden.
