Description

Deckeldose
Kuba, DR Kongo
Gesockelt / with custom base
Holz. H 27 cm. B 16 cm.

Provenienz:
Eduardo Uhart, Paris.

Das heutige Königreich Kuba ist eine von der Herrscherschicht Bushong dominierte Konföderation von rund zwanzig Ethnien mit gemeinsamer Bantu-Abstammung.

Der Name Kuba kommt aus der Bantu-Sprache und bedeutet dort "Wurfmesser". Die ca. 250'000 Menschen zählende Gruppe des Kuba-Stammeskomplexes umfasst u. a. die Bushoong, Kete, Tetela, Ngeende, Lele, Binji, und Shoowa.

Die Kuba hegen eine spezielle Vorliebe für geometrische Formen und sind in erster Linie für ihre kunstvoll abstrakt gestalteten Textilien berühmt. Aber auch alle anderen Gegenstände ihres Gebrauchs wurden gerne über und über mit feinsten Mustern versehen.

Ein schönes Beispiel für diese ornamentale Fertigkeit der Kuba ist diese fein verzierte Deckelschale. Sie diente zum Aufbewahren von tukula, einer wohlriechenden, roten Holzmehl-Paste, die zum Färben von Textilien und zur Körperbemalung verwendet wurde.
