Description

Bronze-Collier
Akan, Côte d’Ivoire
Gelbguss. L 86 cm.

Provenienz:
Galerie Walu, Zürich (vor 1999).

Seit jeher begleitet und fasziniert Schmuck in verschiedensten Formen und Materialien die Menschen aller Kulturen.

Aus kultureller Sicht sind Arm- und Fussreifen, Amulette und Colliers aber viel mehr als nur Schmuckstücke. Speziell in Afrika werden die Preziosen nicht nur für ihrer Schönheit geschätzt, sondern auch als magische, schützende Kräfte verehrt.

Auch in Westafrika sind Ornamente Teil der religiösen Überzeugungen und symbolisieren Rang und Zugehörigkeit der Träger. In einigen ethnischen Gruppen verordnen Wahrsager das Tragen von schützendem Schmuck der die bösen Geister fern hält.

Aufgrund des Wertes der verarbeiteten Rohstoffe waren solche Schmuckstücke auch Wertanlage und wurden im Handel als vormünzliche Zahlungsmittel verwendet. Dieses sog. Primitivgeld wurde in standardisierte Formen gegossen oder geschmiedet und über weite Strecken getauscht.

Die Verwendung von importierten Manillas aus Kupferlegierungen als Tauschgegenstände geht in Afrika mindestens auf das 16. Jh. zurück, als die Portugiesen in Westafrika Handelsstationen errichteten. Im laufe der Zeit wurden diese Importwaren immer wieder eingeschmolzen und weiterverarbeitet. Es entstanden so neue Formen und auch andere Materialien, wie z.B. Eisen, wurden zunehmend in der gleichen Art gehandelt.

Zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts verboten dann die meisten Kolonialmächte Schmuckreifen und anderen Geldformen als Zahlungsmittel um ihre eigenen Währungen zu etablieren.
