AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

希少で古代のマサイ族の盾。北部タンザニアのキソンゴ族由来。
直径: 高さ77 cm、幅47 cm。

この盾は20世紀中頃のもので、2007年に私の私的コレクションで購入した際に真正性証明書が付されていました。大きさからモランの通過儀礼用の盾と推定されます。内側、左下部分には特徴的な錆色の patina(経年の痕跡)が見え、前腕を繰り返し擦ることによって生じた痕跡が実際の使用を示しています。顔料・質感・木材は本来の状態で、牛皮で作られている可能性が高いです。

かつてベルギーの収集家の私的コレクションでした。

南ケニアの草原と北タンザニアの牧草地帯に暮らす放牧民マサイ族は、戦闘・狩猟・通過儀礼の際にこのような盾を使用しました。

木の枠に縫い付けられた水牛の皮が凸状の楕円形のキャンバスとなり、画家は豊かな多色の幾何学模様を描きました。中央の縦帯の両側には対称に配置された二つの大きな三日月形があり、三角形が交互に並ぶ構成です。これらのモチーフは所有者の複雑な血統体系における地位を示すとされます。

この盾は“シラタ(sirata)”と呼ばれ、多くの象徴的モチーフは時代とともに衰退し、現代のマサイ族には十分に理解されていません。いくつかの要素は、盾を持つ戦士の牧童と深く関係しています。

この名誉ある印は、高位の部族長の許可を得てのみ授与されます。

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.
