ガボンのコタ族の木製で真鍮板を覆われたアフリカの聖遺物像
Origine géographique et stylistique

• 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小集団。
• 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に位置する。
• スタイルの特徴:マホンウェ(Bwété)様式は、窪んだ面が木の芯に密集した線材や薄い銅板の巻き付けで全体が覆われている点で特徴づけられる。目は半球状またはボタン状で表現され、鼻は多くは二等辺三角形の簡単な浮き彫りとして前面にくっきりと示される。

Uso et fonction rituelle

• 祖先崇拝(Bwété):この木製で金属が覆われた像は、それ自体が像ではなく、人間の形をした保護の像である。基部の菱形または円柱状の「台座」は、樹皮製の籠や聖遺物箱(時には皮の袋)に直接挿入するためのもので、部族の名高い祖先の聖なる骨片を収めていた。
• 社会的・精神的役割:聖遺物としての像は、故人の遺骨を見守る守護者として機能し、部族の繁栄・豊穣・共同体を悪の力から守る役割を果たした。
• 取り扱い:遺骨を入れた籠で、これらの像を頂部に載せたものは、 initiés( initiations )の儀式や危機、儀礼の際に外部の視線を避けて保管され、儀式の際には像に注ぎ物や供物を捧げて霊的力を再活性化させた。

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."
