生きるアフリカ:暮らしを飾るトライバルオブジェ

カメルーンのエクワトリアル・アフリカ地域にある古代のマスク。顔全体が本革で覆われている。クロス川流域の芸術生産は、アフリカで唯一無二の技法を用いる点で卓越している。木の芯を彫刻して、それを動物の皮で巻きつけるという技法である。この技法は主に紋章用の冠飾や兜型の仮面に用いられる。皮はまずなめされ、それから木の上に張られ、質感と輝き、骨格上の人肌の量感を与え、作品に驚くべきリアリズムをもたらす。

Old mask Ekoi-tribe of Cameroon, Equatorial Africa region. The entire face is covered with real leather. The artistic production of the Cross-River region is exceptional because of the use of a technique - unique in Africa - which consists to wrap a carved wood-core in animal skin. This technique is mainly used for crests and helmet masks. The skin is first tanned and then stretched on the wood, it brings texture, brightness, and the volume of human fleshes on the skeleton, plus it confers a surprising realism to its pieces.

Good condition, no restorations. Some wear due age as pictured. 3th quarter 20th century.

Careful registered sending, combined shipping possible.
