Item Details

Description

Maske, "lukwakongo"
Lega, DR Kongo
Mit Sockel / with base
Holz, Raphia. H 29 cm (53,5 cm mit Raphia)

Provenienz:
Nachlass Alberto Galaverni (1933-2013), Parma.

Im Inventar der Sammlung Galaverni wie folgt beschrieben: "A Lega maskette. This bearded maskette with heart-shaped concave face painted with white pigment, was owned by a male member of the most advanced level of the second highest grade of the 'Bwami' association. This kind of maskette, called ‚lukwakongo', was not worn over the face."

Die harmonisch gestalteten und auf das Wesentliche reduzierten Masken der Lega gehören zu den Initiationsobjekten der bwame-Gesellschaft.

Material, Grösse und Form zeigen den Rang des Trägers innerhalb der Gesellschaft an. Nicht alle Masken wurden - wie andernorts üblich - vor dem Gesicht getragen. Meistens wurden sie in der Hand gehalten, an Hütten befestigt oder auf einer Miniaturpalisade kollektiv zur Schau gestellt.

Bei dem angeboten Objekt handelt es sich um eine lukwakongo Maske. Sie sind die wichtigste Insignie für männliche Initiierte des zweithöchsten Grades und werden zusammen mit anderen Würdesymbolen in der Schultertasche ihres Besitzers aufbewahrt. Sie porträtiert den idealisierten Lega Mann.
