Description from the seller
Tussian and neighbours like Turka and others, which depict anthropomorphic couples, are very similar in design but can be distinguished at a glance.
Senufo pendants almost always have a solid, unadorned base – see item in photo 1, left. However, the pendants could also be attached directly to the body using a cord. In contrast, the bases of pendants from Burkina Faso (Tussyan, Turka, etc.) are decorated with hatching, waves or similar elements.
Furthermore, the Senufo depict a maximum of two anthropomorphic figures, whereas the Tussyan and their neighbours often depict three or four, and in very rare cases even more.
Provenance: Jean-Michel Huguenin Collection, Paris
Seller's Story
Montagut Gallery
Gallery specializing in African tribal art
Montagut Gallery is a gallery specializing in African tribal art, a space devoted to exploring and celebrating the rich artistic heritage of the African continent. Founded in 1990 in Barcelona, the gallery has been a beacon for lovers of tribal art, thanks to the drive and passion of Guilhem Montagut.
Guided by his deep interest in tribal art, Guilhem Montagut immersed himself in this fascinating world through the influence of Rachel Montagut, pioneer and visionary in the world of African tribal art, founder and prominent gallerist. Since then, the gallery has remained true to its mission of spreading the beauty and importance of African art on the international art scene.
Montagut Gallery’s presence extends beyond the borders of Barcelona, actively participating in world-renowned fairs such as TEFAF Maastricht, Brafa Art Fair, Paris Tribal, Parcours des Mondes, and FAB.
The gallery is dedicated to organizing multidisciplinary exhibitions that dialogue and juxtapose African art with other artistic languages, creating a space for cultural exchange and reflection. Its aim is to raise awareness and help people understand that African art is not only a unique cultural expression but also an integral and indispensable part of the world’s art history heritage.
