拍品描述 翻译
A LARGE ASHANTI WOOD MATERNITY FIGURE OF A QUEEN MOTHER, OBAA HEMAA This lot is from a single owner collection and is therefore offered without reserve Ghana, 20 th century. Finely carved seated in upright posture on a leopard with extended tongue, the mother wears only beaded necklaces and bands, a loin cloth, and a pair of sandals, feeding her child that is seated on her lap, her finely braided coiffure above a well-modeled face with elegant features like the coffee-bean eyes and mouth, the neck ringed. Provenance: Professor Gert Chesi, acquired circa 1990-2015 for the Museum der V?lker (formerly Haus der V?lker, Museum für Kunst und Ethnographie), Schwaz, Tyrol, Austria, and subsequently de-accessed. Gert Chesi (b. 1940) is an Austrian photographer, author, and art collector. In 1995, Chesi founded the Museum der V?lker (formerly Haus der V?lker, Museum für Kunst und Ethnographie), Schwaz, Tyrol, Austria, a museum of art and ethnography whose collection consists mainly of objects acquired during Chesi’s travels through Africa and Asia, most of which were assembled in the 1990s and early 2000s. He also authored several books on African voodoo and magic rituals, including ‘Voodoo. Afrikas geheime Macht’ (1987) and ‘Die letzten Afrikaner’ (1977). Condition: Good condition with minor wear, few expected age cracks, minor obvious losses, small chips, remnants of gilt and pigments. The wood with a fine dark patina. Weight: 4.5 kg Dimensions: Height 68.5 cm Maternity figures underscore women's prestige and influence in the Akan culture of West Africa. For the matrilineal Akan people, motherhood is a badge of honor with profound symbolic implications for fertility and society's continuity. Consequently, maternity figures appear frequently in religious shrines and altars. The present figure , depicting a queen mother, known as Obaa Hemaa, is a rare variety of an idealized portrait of a historical personage. The artist employed appropriate visual codes to represent a queen mother, namely the sandals she wears and the leopard she sits upon, a symbol of regality. Besides its sculptural beauty , the interest of this figure lies in her unusual coiffure, which is rare among the Ashanti and may be an abstract representation of a group of terracotta pots carried by women on their head. Literature comparison: Compare a closely related carved wood Ashanti maternity figure, dated 19 th century, 50 cm tall, in the Detroit Institute of Arts, accession number 2017.18. Compare a related pair of maternity figures, Ashanti people, Ghana, in the Museum of Black Civilisations, Dakar.
