ガボンのコタ族の木材に真鍮板を覆ったアフリカ聖遺物像

地理的・様式的起源

• 民族:マホンゲウェ(またはマホンゴウェ)、コタ文化圏に属するサブグループ。
• 地域:主にガボン北東部(特にメカンボ地域)およびコンゴ共和国。
• 美術様式の特徴:従来のコタ聖遺物(Mbulu-nguluと呼ばれることが多い)は滑らかで広がる大きな銅板または真鍮板を掲げるのに対し、マホンゲウェ式(Bwété)は、木の芯に密集した糸や薄い銅/真鍮板を巻きつけて全面を覆う凹面が特徴。目は半球状またはボタン状、鼻は前面の三角形状の浮き彫りのような単純な隆起として前面に際立つ。

儀礼的使用と機能

• 先祖崇拝(Bwété):この木製で金属覆いの像は単独の像ではなく、人間を守る像である。基部の菱形または円柱状の台は、樹皮の籠や皮の袋に収められた聖なる遺骨(部族の名高い先祖の頭蓋骨の断片など)を直接挿入するためのものだった。
• 社会的・精神的役割:遺物は死者の遺骸を見守る守護者として作用し、共同体の繁栄・豊穣・悪しき力からの保護をもたらした。
• 取扱い:遺骨を含む籠とこの像を、 initiés( initiés)によって俗塵を避けて保管した。重要な儀式、危機、 initiateの際に取り出され、像へ酒液を捧げ、霊的力を再活性化した。

Seller's Story

Passionate about World Arts and more specifically about African Art, we buy from collectors, former officials, military, health workers, public works staff who have worked in Africa and also in Côte d'Ivoire, from antique dealers and traders who roam across West Africa to find quality objects. It is with pride that we present works that, beyond their power to beautify spaces, invite our collectors to resonate with the richness and depth of human expression through the most authentic art. At Arts Ethniques Gallery, we have the privilege of offering our visitors an exclusive selection of artworks, all unique and original. Each piece presented is the outcome of a demanding artistic approach, driven by a singular vision and mastered craftsmanship, all elements that guarantee authenticity and value. The works we offer are not industrial reproductions. They are individual creations, crafted with sensitivity and precision, each bearing its own story, identity and presence. Originality is the very foundation of our commitment to excellence. Thus, every mask and every statue in our collection is the subject of a rigorous selection, in order to preserve their rarity and singularity. Acquiring a work from Arts Ethniques Gallery means owning a truly unique piece: a creation that embodies both talent, cultural memory and the expressive force of African art. It is also a lasting investment in a work whose artistic and emotional value transcends time. We guarantee that every work leaving our gallery is an authentic piece, without replicas, bearing witness to the creativity, heritage and passion of the African artists who shaped them. We invite you to participate in our gallery’s auctions with confidence. Each presented work is an original, unique and irreplaceable creation, selected with the greatest rigor to guarantee its authenticity and artistic value. Whether you wish to enrich a personal collection or introduce an exceptional artwork into your space, Arts Ethniques Gallery offers a safe, transparent and professional setting to acquire remarkable pieces. Art auctions are a privileged moment to discover rare works, capable of becoming the heart of a collection. Acquiring a work at our sales is not just buying an object: it is investing in a creation whose aesthetic value and cultural reach reinforce over time. The pieces presented by Arts Ethniques Gallery testify not only to the talent and vision of the artists but also possess the ability to transform spaces and enrich the gaze of those who behold them. Participating in our auctions is taking part in a singular experience, where the passion for art meets the rigors of collecting. Bidding on a work from Arts Ethniques Gallery goes beyond a simple transaction: it is a gesture of commitment and appreciation for art in its most authentic form. We invite you to bid with passion and to join us in this adventure dedicated to discovery, transmission and celebration of art. Perhaps your next heart piece is already waiting for you."
