A tall Chamba Figure (African Art / Tribal Art)

Item Details

Description

Grosse Figur
Chamba, Nigeria
Mit Sockel / with base
Holz. H 101 cm.

Provenienz:
Galerie Walu, Zürich (vor 1999).

Die für ihre erstaunliche Aufteilung der Volumen geschätzten pfahlförmigen Figuren der Chamba hatten unterschiedliche Funktionen.

Manche Skulpturen wurden als Schutzfigur in den Gehöften der Familien aufgestellt. Andere gehörten als Prestigeobjekte gesellschaftlich bedeutenden Personen wie Wahrsagern, Heilern oder Schmieden, bei denen die Figuren in zeremoniellen Handlungen, z.B. als Wächter oder als Medium, verwendet wurden.
