Description

Figur, "nkishi"
Lulua, DR Kongo
Gesockelt / with custom base
Holz, div. Fetischmaterial, Korb. H 14 cm.

Provenienz:
- Galerie Walu, Basel (1964).
- Nachlass Schweizer-Amsler, Kastanienbaum
- Koller Auktionen, Zürich (21.06.2008, Lot 296).

Persönlicher Fetisch, der durch Rituale und die Anbringung magischer Substanzen seine Magie entfaltete. Diese materialisierte Schnittstelle zwischen diesseitigen und übernatürlichen Kräften wurde eingesetzt, um das Gute zu fördern und das Negative zu vermindern.

Literatur: Timmermanns, Paul (1966). Essay de typologie de la sculpture des Bena Lulua du Kassai (Africa Tervuren 12). Tervuren: Musée Royal de l’Afrique Centrale.
