卖家的描述
Terracotta Sculpture - Katsina Ala Tradition, Collected in the Kaduna Region, Nigeria.
The figure, modeled in reddish terracotta, depicts an upright seated male figure of remarkable physical presence. The elongated, almost cylindrical torso rests on a block-like seat; the bent legs are sculpted in relief, while both hands rest on the knees. The disproportionately large head has deeply carved eyes, a small, open mouth, and a pronounced, framing facial contour. Multiple encircling neck rings and a band-like headdress or hairstyle add ornamental accents. The granular, earth-red surface shows signs of wear and mineral deposits.
The work is attributed to the Katsina Ala terracotta tradition of central Nigeria and was reportedly collected in the Kaduna Region. Katsina-Ala lies on the eastern edge of the extensive archaeological horizon closely associated with Nok terracotta art; early finds from Katsina-Ala included heads and fragments of seated figures. Systematically excavated Nok terracotta production is particularly well documented from around 900 BCE. Recent research connects the deposition of figurines with burial sites, repeated festivals, and possibly a complex ancestor cult.

Under the 1970 UNESCO Convention in combination with the Kulturgutschutz Gesetz (KGSG) any claim for the restitution of cultural property becomes time-barred three years after the competent authorities of the State of origin obtain knowledge of the object’s location and the identity of its possessor.
All bronzes and terracotta items offered have been publicly exhibited in Wolfgang Jaenicke Gallery since 2001. Organisations such as DIGITAL BENIN and academic institutions such as the Technical University of Berlin, which have been intensively involved in restitution-reseaches (translocation-project) over the past seven years, are aware of our work, have inspected large parts of our collection and have visited us in our dependance in Lomé, Togo, among other places, to learn about the international Art trade on site. Furthermore, the National Commission for Museums and Monuments (NCMM) in Abuja, Nigeria, has been informed about our collection. In no case in the past have there been restitution claims against private institutions such as the Wolfgang Jaenicke Gallery
Our Gallery addresses these structural challenges through a policy of maximum transparency and documentation. Should any questions or uncertainties arise, we invite you to contact us. Each matter will be reviewed diligently using all available resources.
