An Akan Commemorative Head Akan, Ghana / Côte d'Ivoire Mit Sockel / with base Terracotta. H 19 cm. Provenance: - Mama Mecano, Accra. - 1984: Gallery Walu, Zurich. Published: Jean David (2003). Ghana, Akan, Komaland. Zurich: Galerie Walu, page 9. Exhibited: Galerie Walu, Zurich. "Ghana, Akan, Komaland" (2003). Thermoluminescence age determination: 250 years (+/- 25 %). The Akan peoples are a group of ethnically and culturally related peoples who live mainly in Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire. The best known are the Asante, Fante, Akuapem, Akyem, Kwahu and Baule. Idealized images made of baked clay were erected in separate groves in memory of ancestors. They were ceremonially worshipped there until no one could remember them. The terracottas, which radiate peace and serenity, were thus materialized connections between this world and the hereafter, which could serve similar purposes to monuments or gravestones elsewhere.

An Asante Figure Standing figure Asante, Ghana Mit Sockel / with base Wood, glass beads. H 29 cm. Provenance: - Imelda and Paul (1924-2014) Berger-Frei, Riehen. - Berger-Frei community of heirs, Basel. Standing female figures are frequently encountered in West Africa and their symbolism and tasks are interpreted in many different ways. Self-confidence, grace, composure, dignity, stability, balance and many other qualities are among the characteristics that should characterize a woman. In addition to this, she should stand upright on the ground with which she is rooted, creating strength. The central theme of motherhood is closely linked to nutrition, the family and the continuation of the clan or state. In this context, this sculpture was probably ritually worshipped and sacrificed in a shrine. Further reading: Cole, Herbert M. / Ross, Doran H. (1977). The Arts of Ghana.
