Description

Miniatur-Figur,"nkisi"
Songye, DR Kongo
Mit Sockel / with base
Holz, Kupfer, Pflanzenfasern. H 24,5 cm.

Provenienz:
Helmut und Marianne Zimmer, Zürich.

Die minkisi genannten Zauberfiguren (Singular nkisi) gewährten Schutz vor Krankheiten, Unfruchtbarkeit und anderem Unheil und konnten beispielsweise auch bei ungeklärten Verbrechen Hilfe leisten. Dies vermochten sie durch geballte Kräfte, die sie in Form von allerlei magischen Substanzen gespeichert in sich tragen. Diese Kräfte konnten bei rituellen Zeremonien und Besprechungen entladen und für die Besitzer nutzbar gemacht werden.

Im Gegensatz zu den grossen Darstellungen, die im Dienst einer ganzen Gemeinschaft standen und ihre magische Wirkung für zahlreiche Personen und Familien einsetzten, hatten die kleineren Ausführungen dieses Figurentyps privaten Charakter, und befanden sich im Besitz einzelner Personen oder einem Haushalt.
