Description

Wedel, "nandwa blawa"
Akan, Côte d’Ivoire
Gesockelt / with custom base
Holz, mit Goldfolie überzogen, Echthaar, Textil. H 46 cm. (112 cm mit Schweif).

Provenienz:
Galerie Walu, Zürich.

Bei den Baule nandwa blawa genannter Zeremonialwedel und königliches Würdezeichen aus dem aja genannten Familienerbe eines Herrscher-Clans.

Zeremonialwedel wurden bei Feierlichkeiten als äussere Zeichen von Rang und Zugehörigkeit öffentlich präsentiert. Sie waren Symbol für die Einheit der Familie und deren Identität.

„Ohne schöne Dinge können wir nicht leben“ - dieses Bekenntnis eines Akan könnte auch aus dem Munde eines westlichen Kunstliebhabers stammen. Generell schätzen die Akan-Völker, zu denen auch die Baule gehören, die Verwendung von Sprichwörtern als Ausdrucksmittel. Wedel werden z.B. mit dem Sprichwort "Geld ist wie ein Fliegenwedel; ein einzelner kann es nicht halten" assoziiert, das den Vorteil einer Gemeinschaft unterstreicht.
