en treskulptur - Prampram - Ghana
A Prampram sculptural couple, both with loin cloths, south center region of Ghana.
Baba Sylla, once the dealer of Karl Heinz Krieg, Germany, who brought the first extremly rare PramPram sculptures to the West (Penultimate photo in the sequence).
"A great discovery were the so called "Prampram" sculptures, which are stylistically related to the Northern part of the small tribes in Northern Ghana and Togo, in particular the Moba. In my interview Baba Sylla, Accra, Ghana, isn't speaking about a "tribe“, he named it "a great family", which seems to be incorrect under anthropological aspects, but it is a link to the fact, how small this "tribe" is or was in reality. Maybe this is the reason that these sculptures are unknown in literature. Only Karl-Heinz Krieg (short before his death) conducted unpublished researches with voice protocols close to the hut, where these sculptures were once part of a shrine. But a friend of him told me that Mr. Krieg had no possibility to access the hut."
