Nigeria, Jukun Stehende Figur Holz, Metall Sockel Handgeschriebene Sammlungsnummer "von Schroeder AF 259 Karim" auf dem Rücken. Figuren der Jukun sind Darstellungen verstorbener Stammesfürsten, ihrer Ehefrauen und des Gefolges. Die Stammesfürsten der Jukun sind verantwortlich für die Sicherheit der Menschen, die Fruchtbarkeit des Landes und die Beschwörung des lebensnotwendigen Regens. Die Figuren finden deshalb bei Erntefesten und Ritualen zur Herbeiführung von Regen Einsatz. Genau wie die ägyptischen Götter müssen sie täglich mit Ritualen bedacht werden, wenn man sie füttert und mit ihnen spricht. Die Nähe und der Einfluss der Mumuye sind stilistisch offensichtlich. Mass: H: 57,5 cm Provenance: Ulrich von Schröder, Zurich, Switzerland Arno Henseler, Munich, Germany Published In: Eisenhofer, Stefan & Karin Guggeis, Afrikanische Kunst, München, Berlin 2002, p. 68, ill. 46 Lit.: Berns, Marla C. et al., Arts of the Benue River Valley, Los Angeles 2011, p. 276, ill. 8.57
