賣家描述
Akan Terracotta Head - Kumasi Region, Ghana, incl stand.
The nearly life-size terracotta head is characterized by a starkly frontal, yet striking, physiognomy. Tubular, pierced eyes protrude from the egg-shaped skull; a long, narrow nose leads to the sculpted mouth. Linear indentations accentuate the bridge of the nose, temples, and ears, while a vertical groove divides the crown of the head. Lateral perforations may have once served to attach jewelry or other accessories. The reddish-orange surface with light mineral deposits and wear underscores the piece's archaic character.
The sculpture belongs to the Akan terracotta tradition of southern and central Ghana. Since at least the 17th century, ceramic memorial heads - often called nsodie - were created there to commemorate rulers, queen mothers, and other high-ranking deceased individuals. They were placed in special cemeteries and memorial sites (asensie) and integrated into the ongoing relationship between the living and ancestors through offerings and libations. The great regional and stylistic diversity ranges from naturalistic to highly abstract representations.
When Professors McIntosh conducted excavations at Djenné-Jeno some twenty years ago, they had local people sort fragments of the excavated terracottas in front of the mosque in Djenné, and subsequently published a major report on their “sensational discoveries” in National Geographic Magazine, a widely read, mass-circulation publication not only in the United States.
The consequence was predictable: dealers and tourists from all over the world visiting Mali now knew exactly where to establish contacts for their cultural “souvenirs.” The very people who had only recently been sorting pottery and terracotta fragments for the McIntoshes had become tourist guides, helping to organize what amounted to a sell-off of Djenné-Jeno sculptures. (see also "Between Kalashnikovs and Cultural Heritage Laws - A Journey Through Mali's Reality")
