Description from the seller
ロッソ族の彫刻
トーゴ北部地域
木材、植物繊維、シャコガイの貝殻
台付き
立つ女性像は一本の塊木から彫り出され、ブロックのような質感と、独特の静かな表現力を併せ持つ。角ばった胴体が短く頑丈な脚の上に立ち上がり、胸部、腕、性器は容積を抑えて描かれている。 disproportionately large,almost spherical head features deeply set eyes, a broad nose, and an open mouth. A disc-shaped hairstyle or crown completes the head. A braided cord with a cowrie shell lies around the neck - a material accent that suggests a particular social or ritual significance. Dark patina, abrasion, and crusty deposits give the surface a texture that results from use and repeated contact.
The Losso people, also known as Nawdba/Nawda, live in northern Togo. Their sculpture is comparatively poorly documented. Known figures often depict compact bodies, highly simplified facial features, and traces of ritual treatment. Comparable pieces are described as ancestral, protective, or power figures and sometimes show signs of sacrifice and libation. The precise function of the present figure remains unclear without reliable field evidence. However, its solid form and the cowrie shell suggest it possesses an efficacy extending beyond the purely pictorial.
Literature (selection):
Pierre Amrouche: Corps & Décors. Statuaire Lamba et Losso du Togo. Paris 2008.
Jan-Lodewijk Grootaers / Ineke Eisenburger (eds.): Forms of Wonderment, Vol. I. Berg en Dal 2002.
Some of the information is generated by artificial intelligence and is based on published sources from the fields of ethnography, archaeology, and art history.
