Περιγραφή από τον πωλητή
This bone figurine from northern Togo belongs to the tradition of ancestral and protective sculptures, which, within the Moba religious worldview, are understood as material manifestations of spiritual presence. Such figures, often collectively referred to as Tchitcheri, served as intermediaries between the living and the ancestors and were closely linked to protective, fertility, and memorial cults. Their highly abstracted form points to a visual language that emphasizes the essence of human and spiritual existence rather than individual physiognomy. Incl stand.
The figure is characterized by a round head and a prominent shoulder area that powerfully transitions into pointed arms. The limbs, which hang down to the sides, and the flared hips lend the figure a clear physical presence despite its reduction. The block-like lower body only splits into two slender legs in the lower third, thus emphasizing the monumental unity of the composition.
Particularly striking is the extensive diamond-shaped ornamentation covering the torso, abdomen, back, and legs. This geometric pattern lends the figure a rhythmic structure and is reminiscent of traditional body ornamentation or symbolic signs of social affiliation. The red beaded necklace encircling the abdomen forms a striking contrast to the surface and may allude to protection, status, or ritual activation. The glossy patina and distinct signs of wear document prolonged ritual use and attest to the object's central importance within its cultural context.
