Mit Sockel / with base
Holz. H 90 cm.

Provenienz:
- Galerie Africana, Zürich (1999).

Die für ihre erstaunliche Abstraktion geschätzten Figuren der Mumuye hatten unterschiedliche Funktionen. Manche Skulpturen wurden als Schutzfigur in den Gehöften der Familien aufgestellt. Andere gehörten als Prestigeobjekte gesellschaftlich bedeutenden Personen, wie dem Wahrsager, dem Heiler, dem Regenmacher oder dem Schmied, welche die Figuren bei zeremoniellen Handlungen z.B. als Wächter oder als Medium verwendeten.
