Figur, "tchitchiri"
Moba, Togo
Gesockelt / with custom base
Eisen. H 16,5 cm.

Provenienz:
Galerie Walu, Zürich (vor 1995).

Bei den Moba fanden sich in wesentlichen drei Typen von anthropomorphen Skulpturen, alle unter dem Namen tchitchiri bekannt, die entweder nahe oder unbekannte Vorfahren darstellten.

Hierbei handelt es sich um eine Schutzfigur aus Eisen die in einem persönlichen Hausaltar stand.

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.
