Description from the seller

コング: 古代アフリカのボア族マスク

高さはおよそ28 cm。

一枚の木材から手彫りで作られた、20世紀半ばの作品で、真正証明書が付属します。

卵形の目、大きな口、リング状の耳を備えたクラシックなボアマスクです。このタイプのマスクは、戦を前に戦士の勇気を高めるため、呪術医によって兵を怯えさせて退散させるために着用されたと伝えられています。地域の平定後は、子どもの教育的な“怖い神様役”として使用されていました。木製のマスクは状態良好です。

来歴:ドイツの元私収納品。

ボア地区、民主共和国コンゴ、コーゴ川の近くに位置します。

ボア族(単数形Boa、またはAbabua、Ababwa、Babua、Babwa、Bwa)は、民主共和国コンゴの民族グループです。彼らはボア語を話します。
ボアは、民主共和国コンゴの北部のサバンナ地帯に住んでいます。マングベツ族・ザンデ族と密接な関係を保っています。2007年時点で人口約90万人の Bas-Uele 地区の住民の多くはボア族です。彼らは主に自給自足の農業と狩猟で生計を立て、一部は川の商業活動を行っています。
ボアは、戦いの前に戦士の勇気を高めるため、戦勝を祝う儀式で用いられると考えられているマスクで知られています。ボアは邪気を払う像を刻みます。また、人間の頭部を刻んだ首の部分があるハープや、全身が男性または女性の像を表す楽器も作ります。
1903年から1910年の間、ボアはこの地域のベルギー統治者に対して反乱を起こしていました。

Seller's Story

A SUMMARY OF OUR AFRICA-GALLERY SELLING POLICIES. Our Africa-gallery specialized in Ethiopian tribal art, collected and sell tribal used art from all over Africa and special from Ethiopia. Our Gallery have a collection of authentic, original and traditional art from Africa. This collection including masks, statues, pottery, musical instruments, manuscripts, headrests and other antique, primitive art and various unusual items. I hardly ever buy directly from Africa. All my items that I sell are old and (tribal) used. My objects come from European and American private collections, auction houses, fellow dealers and other collectors from around the world. This site gives you an impression of our stock and activities. Authentic, museum quality African tribal art at wholesale prices We strive to provide deeper public appreciation for high quality African art and to make it accessible to all collectors. High quality masks, carvings, statues, fetishes, animal figures, ritual objects and bronzes displayed here will add beauty to any home and value to any collection. In addition, an ever-growing demand for rapidly disappearing original African tribal art makes it a sound investment. As long-time experienced collectors, we carefully select and authenticate every artifact. Shown here are original, high quality, hand-crafted pieces made of wood or bronze which can be yours at a fraction of gallery prices! Years of traditional use added distinction to many of them. We guarantee the authenticity of every item and your complete satisfaction. We make every effort to research and document the history of each artifact.
