En treskulptur - Akan - Ghana (Ingen reservasjonspris)
An Akan comb, known as Duafe collected in Kumasi, Ghana; signs of ritual use. Incl. stand.
"In Ghana, elaborate combs ...are gifts from Akan men to women to commemorate special events, such as puberty celebrations, weddings, or births. ...As a gift from a husband to his wife the comb underscores the couple’s desire to have children. Evident is also the relationship between the akua ba as an ideal of feminine beauty and the function of the comb in the creation of the coiffure."Source: The Met.
