賣家描述
Anthropomorphic Adamawa Vessel - Adamawa, Nigeria, incl stand
The terracotta combines vessel and human form into a uniquely self-contained body shape. A bulbous torso with small, sculpted breasts and bent arms, the hands resting on the abdomen, rises from a narrow, tubular base. The long neck supports a highly stylized head with two tall, ribbed projections. Instead of a conventional face, a large, tubular opening dominates. The neck and hip areas are accentuated by relief bands. The porous, light ochre surface with reddish firing marks underscores the elemental character of the fired clay. No scientific test report is provided for this piece. Its age and geographical origin have therefore not been verified
Anthropomorphic vessels of this type are particularly well-documented among the Longuda and neighboring Cham and Mwana peoples in the Adamawa region and along the Gongola River. Among the Longuda, therapeutic vessels are referred to as kwandalha or kwandalowa. They could be specially made after a diagnosis by a ritual specialist and served to symbolically absorb and bind illness; subsequently, they were kept or placed outside the settlement. The unusual opening and the female physical characteristics of the present piece formally fit within this spectrum.
