Description

Gedenk-Kopf, Ahinsan-Stil
Asante, Ghana
Gesockelt / with custom base
Terrakotta. H 11,5 cm.

Provenienz:
Galerie Walu, Zürich (1990).

Thermolumineszenz-Altersbestimmung: 200 Jahre (+/-20%).

Der Name "Akan" bezeichnet eine Gruppe von Völker der Côte d'Ivoire und Ghanas, die sprachlich und kulturell verwandt sind. Dazu zählen z.B. die Asante, die Fante oder auch die Baule.

Idealisierte Abbilder aus gebranntem Ton wurden zur Erinnerung an Vorfahren in gesonderten Hainen aufgestellt. Sie wurden dort so lange zeremoniell verehrt, bis sich niemand mehr an die Dargestellten erinnern konnte.

Die Ruhe und Gelassenheit ausstrahlenden Terrakotten waren somit materialisierten Verbindungen zwischen Dies- und Jenseits, die ähnliche Zwecke erfüllen konnten wie andernorts Denkmäler oder Grabsteine.
