Description

Löffel, "wunkirmian"
Dan, Côte d’Ivoire
Gesockelt / with custom base
Holz. L 60,5 cm.

Provenienz:
Galerie Walu, Zürich (1981).

Figürlicher Prestige-Löffel mit einer länglichen Löffelschale und einem Griff in Form eines Büffelkopfes.

Der Löffel ist die materielle Erscheinungsform eines Hilfsgeistes für ranghohe gastgebende Frauen, welche damit anlässlich von Feierlichkeiten, rituell tanzend, symbolisch Essen verteilten.

Anlässlich der Erntezeit zwischen November und Februar fanden zahlreiche,
mehrtägige Festlichkeiten statt, zu denen jeder Dorfbewohner beisteuerte, was er vermochte. Nach diversen Anlässen und Tanzdarbietungen bereiteten die Frauen das abschliessende Festmahl vor, zu dessen Auftakt sie mit ihren kunstvoll und delikat verzierten Reislöffeln und Schalen aufmarschierten.
