Item Details

Description

Figur, "tchitchiri"
Moba, Togo
Gesockelt / with custom base
Holz. H 103 cm.

Provenienz:
Galerie Walu, Zürich (1992).

Bei den Moba fanden sich drei Typen von anthropomorphen Skulpturen, alle unter dem Namen tchitchiri bekannt, die entweder nahe oder unbekannte Vorfahren darstellten. Hierbei handelt es sich um eine tchitchiri bavong Figur aus einem persönlichen Hausaltar, die einen nahen Verwandten (Eltern, Grosseltern) des Familienoberhauptes repräsentierte.

Lange von Ethnologen und Kunstsammlern wegen der vergleichbar „primitiven“ Ausführung unbeachtet, ist es gerade dieser Aspekt der Reduzierung, der die Bildhauerwerke der Moba zu gesuchten Skulpturen hat werden lassen.
