Περιγραφή από τον πωλητή
An Adamawa Kwandalha healing sculpture, also called Longuda, according to the language, Estern Nigeria, close to the Benue river.
Dimension are 32 cm and weight almost 2 kilo.
"After a ritual specialist determined the cause of a disease, the patient was given a newly modeled vessel, into which the disease was transferred. Such pots, which tend to embody the symptoms described, are remarkable for their highly expressive and imaginative forms." Source Brooklyn Museum, Vessel for Kwandalha Divination.
"The art of manufacturing and the knowledge of its use are reserved for only a few old people today; the young generation, brought up by missionaries, often no longer even know of their existence", Karl-Ferdinand Schaedler, Erde und Erz, S. 271.
