A Tiv Double Axe (African Art / Tribal Art)

Item Details

Description

Doppelaxt
Tiv, Nigeria
Ohne Sockel / without base
Gelbguss, Eisen. H 45 cm.

Provenienz:
- Nachlass René David (1928-2015), Zürich.
- Hammer Auktion 38, 04.04.2019, Lot 25 (stornierter Verkauf / cancelled sale)

Ausgestellt:
Musée International du Golfe de Guinée, Togo (2005-2011).

Der Griff ist aus Eisen geschmiedet, das Griffende und der Kopf wurden aus Gelbguss im Wachsausschmelzverfahren darübergegossen.

Die Zweckmässigkeit dieser exquisit gestalteten Waffe war eher sekundär, da die Form primär zur Identifikation der Stammeszugehörigkeit und des Status des Trägers diente.
