Description

Figur, "bochio"
Fon, Benin
Ohne Sockel / without base
Holz, Textil, Fetischmaterial. H 31,5 cm.

Provenienz:
Schweizer Privatsammlung, St. Gallen.

bochio-Schutzfiguren wie diese sind Verkörperungen von Geistwesen. Sie wurden rituell von Priestern besprochen, beopfert, und sollten durch das Anbringen von magischen Substanzen die Macht erhalten, bestimmte, an sie gerichtete Aufträge zu erfüllen.

Fetische dieser Art sind materialisierte Schnittstellen zwischen diesseitigen und übernatürlichen Kräften, die eingesetzt werden, um das Gute zu fördern und das Negative abzuwenden.

Sie beschützen so z.B. die Gemeinschaft vor ungewünschten Geistern oder Individuen vor drohendem Unheil.
