Item Details

Description

Figur, "tchitchiri"
Moba, Togo
Mit Sockel / with base
Holz. H 76,5 cm.

Provenienz:
- Udo Horstmann, Zug.
- Helmut und Marianne Zimmer, Zürich.

Bei den Moba fanden sich drei Typen von anthropomorphen Skulpturen, alle unter dem Namen tchitchiri bekannt, die entweder nahe oder unbekannte Vorfahren darstellten. Hierbei handelt es sich um eine tchitchiri bavong Figur aus einem persönlichen Hausaltar, die einen nahen Verwandten (Eltern, Grosseltern) des Familienoberhauptes repräsentierte.

Lange von Ethnologen und Kunstsammlern wegen der vergleichbar „primitiven“ Ausführung unbeachtet, ist es gerade dieser Aspekt der Reduzierung, der die Bildhauerwerke der Moba zu gesuchten Skulpturen hat werden lassen.
