賣家描述
Kwandalha Healing Vessel
Longuda, Adamawa Region, Northeast Nigeria
Terracotta
This anthropomorphic terracotta vessel unites the human form and the vessel's body into a single entity that is both archaic and immediately evokes a powerful sense of immediacy. A large head with a wide-open mouth, pierced eyes, and prominent ears rises above the voluminous, egg-shaped body. Slender arms follow the sides; the finely carved hands rest on the abdomen. Applied bumps, nipples, and other protrusions enliven the rough, ochre to reddish-brown surface. A long, sculpted ridge runs across the body, reinforcing its deliberately irregular, almost physically vulnerable appearance.
This vessel belongs to the Kwandalha tradition of the Longuda people in northeastern Nigeria, particularly in the area of present-day Adamawa and Gombe. Similar terracotta vessels were created for divination and ritual healing. In cases of illness, a specialist could prescribe a specific vessel; Even the unfired clay was brought into contact with the patient to symbolically transfer the suffering onto the material. After its completion, the vessel was ritually activated through libations. Among the Longuda, such kwandalha were traditionally made by specialized women.
The sculptural protrusions and openings are therefore not merely ornamental elements: they can make illness and physical suffering visible and, at the same time, materially tangible. The sculpture thus becomes a container for a crisis - and an instrument for overcoming it.
