Description

Deckeldose
Kuba, DR Kongo
Ohne Sockel / without base
Holz. B 18 cm.

Provenienz:
- Nachlass Kurt Hösli-Brutschin (1928-2006), Basel.
- Hammer Auktion 22, 16.05.2018, Lot 62.
- Schweizer Privatsammlung, Genf.

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.

Alle diese Ethnien hegen eine spezielle Vorliebe für geometrische Formen und versehen deshalb viele Gegenstände, sowohl aus dem täglichen Gebrauch wie auch aus den Ritualen, gerne über und über mit feinsten Mustern.

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.
