Description

Flöte
Grasland, Kamerun
Ohne Sockel / without base
Holz. H 27 cm.

Provenienz:
Helmut und Marianne Zimmer, Zürich.

Flöten wurden quer durch Schwarzafrika so unterschiedlich verwendet, wie ihre Formen vielfältig waren: einzeln oder in der Gruppe, z.B. als Signalinstrument, als Kommunikationsmittel, zur Unterhaltung oder rituell bei Initiationen, Hochzeiten, Geburten und Begräbnissen. Darüber hinaus waren sie Statussymbol, wurden als Schmuck getragen und waren äusseres Zeichen der Zugehörigkeit des Besitzers.
