Wan ‘Tahapo’/‘Djermin’ Stone Sculpture, Ivory Coast,

Item Details

Description

Laterite rock, which is strongly reminiscent of volcanic rock
Kounayiri, Ivory Coast, West Africa, 6th-8th century A.D.
Wan people
Coarse-pored rock sculpture with face
With mounting
Height: 44.5 cm
Weight: approx. 15 kg
Very good condition
Object is regular taxed. 19% VAT is added to the purchase price for deliveries within the EU.

Its archaic designed face shows a projecting forehead, large, spherical, protruding eyes, a broad nose with protruding spherical and perforated nostrils and a protruding mouth. The coarse-pored, reddish, iron-rich rock reinforced the strong expressiveness of the face. This sculpture is a work of the Wan, a people, who earlier inhabited the area of the Guro people, who expelled the Wan from that area in the 15th century. The formation period of these sculptures is, according to Prof. Niangoran Bouah from Institut d'Histoire et d'Archéologie in Abidjan, to put in the 6th-8th century. Some of the stone sculptures, which were found by him during excavations, were age- tested with the C 14 method based on the fund accompanying charcoal. Whereby an age of 1300 +/- 80 years was determined.

The sculpture is in very good condition with minimal signs of age and wear. The height of the sculpture is 44.5 cm and weighs about 15 kg. (asi)
