A PHALLIC TERRACOTTA URN, BURA CULTURE, NIGER OR BURKINA FASO, 3RD- 13TH CENTURYThis lot is from a single owner collection and is therefore offered without reserveExhibited: Bergbau Museum, Afrika Ethno-Kunst, Klagenfurt, 1997The hollowed vessel of phallic form, the exterior sides decorated with vertical and horizontal bands of bulges, and the domed head with circular bands of raised decoration centered by a knob.Provenance: Galerie Walu, Zurich, 1997. Collection of Gerhard Merzeder (b. 1963), internationally published and acclaimed fashion and portrait photographer, Vienna, Austria, assembled since the 1980s. The family-owned Galerie Walu has been specialized in cultures of sub-Saharan Africa since 1957, supported by decades of hands-on experience in the African art market.Condition: Good condition with expected old wear, signs of weathering and erosion, natural cracks, obvious losses, few tiny chips, flaking, and soil encrustations. Weight: 6.6 kgDimensions: Height 48.5 cmThe Bura culture flourished in what is now southwestern Niger and parts of Burkina Faso between the 3rd and 13th centuries AD. Bura works ranged from stylized human heads to zoomorphic figures and monumental funerary urns. Their discovery in the 1970s revealed a sophisticated society with complex spiritual beliefs, advanced ceramic techniques, and far-reaching cultural influence.The Bura civilization is known to us primarily through its distinctive funerary traditions. Their terracotta vessels—tubular, oval, and semi-ovoid in form—served as urns for skeletal remains and were placed upside down in the earth, often clustered together in burial fields. Made from clay and richly decorated, these urns could contain not only human bones but also personal items such as iron arrowheads, bracelets, rings, clothing, food offerings, and quartzite beads. The surfaces of the vessels were adorned with unique incised and ridged designs produced through scarification techniques, patterns believed to reflect aspects of the deceased's life. Many urns also feature anthropomorphic or symbolic elements—flat stylized heads, mounted horsemen, standing figures, and breast- or phallic-like protrusions.Literature comparison:Compare a related terracotta urn, Bura culture, dated circa 500-1000 AD, 42 cm tall, in the Mulvane art Museum, object number 2000-55-56. Compare a related funerary vessel, Bura culture, possibly Asinda-Sikka Necropolis, Niger and Burkina Faso, dated 200-1000 AD, 69.2 cm tall, in the Brimingham Museum of Art, reference number AFI.165.2012. Compare a related figurative funerary vessel, Bura Asinda-Sikka Peoples, 87.6 cm tall, in the New Orleans Museum of Art, accession number 2006.96.4.
