Item Details

Description

Eisen-Figur, "yendu tchitchiri"
Moba, Togo
Mit Sockel / with base
Eisen. H 22 cm.

Provenienz:
Galerie Walu, Zürich (vor 1998).

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 yendu tchitchiri genannte Schutzfigur aus einem persönlichen Hausaltar.

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.
