An Akan Prestige-Object (Transverse Horn)

Item Details

Description

Prestigeobjekt, Querhorn
Akan, Ghana / Côte d’Ivoire
Mit Sockel / with base
Holz, mit Goldfolie überzogen. H 29 cm.

Provenienz:
Nachlass René David (1928-2015), Zürich.

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

„Ohne schöne Dinge können wir nicht leben“ – dieses Bekenntnis eines Baule könnte auch aus dem Munde eines westlichen Kunstliebhabers stammen. Sich mit reizvollen Objekten zu umgeben war den Akan in der Republik Elfenbeinküste ein ähnlich grundlegendes Anliegen wie Sammlern afrikanischer Kunst. Diese Lebensauffassung der Akan äusserte sich in fein gearbeiteten Ritualfiguren ebenso wie in liebevoll verzierten Gebrauchsgegenständen.

Aus Holz geschnitzte Miniatur-Darstellungen dienen als Schaustücke für Akan-Notabeln und werden bei Feierlichkeiten als "schöne Objekte" öffentlich präsentiert.

Die dargestellten Motive, hier ein QUerhorn, weisen stets auf Personen, Tiere oder Gegenstände hin und stehen für lobenswerte Eigenschaften oder Sinnsprüche.
