Item Details

Description

Sitz
Asante, Ghana
Ohne Sockel / without base
Holz. H 32,5 cm. B 46 cm. L 25,5 cm.

Provenienz:
Nachlass Madeleine und Jean-Jacques Keller (bis 1980 Abidjan, danach Rheinfelden).

Die den ranghohen Notabeln vorbehaltenen Sitze sind bis heute Symbol von Würde und Macht. Sie sind die wichtigsten Regalien der Asante-Regenten. Je nachdem variiert ihre Rolle vom einfachen Gebrauchsgegenstand sowie als Symbol des ganzen Staates.

Zwischen Besitzer und Sitz besteht eine ganz besondere Intimität: Die Asante-Weisheit besagt, dass es zwischen ihnen keine Geheimnisse gibt. Die Sitze werden von Hinterbliebenen so lange als Memorabilien aufbewahrt, bis sich niemand mehr an die einstigen Besitzer erinnern kann.
