Item Details

Description

Kurzschwert
Yakoma, Ngbandi, DR Kongo
Ohne Sockel / without base
Holz, Eisen. L 63 cm.

Provenienz:
Nachlass Werner Bischoff (1904-1977). 1920-1930 in SItu erworben.

Zeremonialwaffen zeichnen sich durch sorgfältige Herstellung und dekorative Gestaltung, z.B. der Verzierung mit wertvollen Materialien wie Kupfer, Bronze, Elfenbein oder Fell, aus.

Die ursprünglich Funktion ist damit eingeschränkt, so dass eine Verwendung als Kampfwaffe nicht mehr im Vordergrund steht. Vielmehr signalisieren sie den sozialen Status und die Macht des Trägers und sind damit eher Kult-, Prunk-, Würde- und Statuswaffen die auch im Tauschhandel Verwendung fanden.
