Uma escultura de madeira - Prampram - Gana

A pair of Prampram dolls collected in South Central Ghana. Signs of ritual use and age. The sculpture, supported by an iron stand, standing straight, denied of feet. No traces of genitalia. Its elongated bust takes up more than half the size of the sculptures diameter, compared to the smaller legs. It has two incrusted holes on the top of the chest, suggesting its nipples. The arm hanging down alongside the torso, have no hands either. The thin cylindric neck carries an oval shaped head, simply carved with minimal traits. These small rounded carved holes are the same size and shape throughout the two sculptures, giving an astonished attitude. The mouth is in „awe“, the eyes are looking straight ahead.

"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.
