Ver traducciónPrampram - Ghana
N.º 92811721
A couple of PramPram sculptures, Ghana, elongated body with tapering limbs, a spherical head, eyes, ears, navel and nipples are represented as indentations, the nose in the shape of a small ridge, the right leg is shortened, the sculpture is covered with a short shirt of brownish colourof incl. stand and certificate of origin and provenance, collected from Baba Sylla, incl. stand.
"A great discovery were the so called "Prampram" sculptures, which are stylistically related to the Northern part of the small tribes in Northern Ghana and Togo, in particular the Moba. In my interview Baba Sylla, Accra, Ghana, isn´t speaking about a "tribe“, he named it "a great family", which seems to be incorrect under anthropological aspects, but it is a link to the fact, how small this "tribe" is or was in reality. May be this is the reason that these sculptures are unknown in literature. Only Karl-Heinz Krieg (short before his death) conducted unpublished researches with voice protocols close to the hut, where these sculptures were once part of a shrine. But a friend of him told me that Mr. Krieg had no possibility to access the hut."
Lit.: Dogbe, B.K. (1977). “The human form as a central theme in art” in Image (Journal of the College of Art).
Interview with Baba Sylla (last photo sequence), the well known antique dealer in Accra, Ghana, who collected these sculptures for the first time. You tube video, "PramPram sculptures with background-informations of Baba Sylla, Accra, Ghana"
Height: 41,5 cm / 41 cm without stand

Ver traducciónEn envoi rapide, emballage, parfait.
Ver traducciónlivraison très longue 26 jours ! Après réception le Bec de l'oiseau arrive cassé malgré un emballage de qualité exceptionnelle ! Après observations je m'aperçois que la pièce est réparée a la colle !

First of all, thank you for the compliment that the mask was well packaged. We go to great lengths to pack our works of art safely. Nevertheless, damage can occur in transit if the courier handles the parcels improperly. In December and even up to the 6th of January there was a lot of chaos at DHL and many parcels arrived days and even weeks late. Some items were at some point repaired by their previous owners in Africa. Sometimes so well that even we cannot recognize the repair and therefore cannot describe it. Please accept our apologies that we did not discover the repair and that the glued-on beak has broken off. If you no longer wish to have the object for this reason, you are welcome to return it to us. Catawiki will then refund the purchase price and postage. Kind regards, Patricia Winheim
Bien reçu le colis ,trés bien préparé et protégeant abondamment la sculpture, mais long délai de livraison. La sculpture est authentique et de bon style du milieu 20e . C'est une chance!
Ver traducciónWie immer gute Qualität zum fairen Preis. Hervorragend verpackt! Einziger kleiner Kritikpunkt: 5 Wochen Lieferzeit. Viel Zeit zur Vorfreude :-)

Ver traducciónals ik volgens de regels meteen betaal verwacht ik ook van de professionele verkoper dat hij zich ook aan de afspraken houdt en niet pas verzendt nadat hij daar toe door Catawiki wordt gesommeerd.

If you check your DHL tracking number, you can see that your package was on the road for 10 days. This is DHL's responsibility. We regret this, but unfortunately we have no control over it. And between the 24th and the 26th of December and on the 1st of January were official holidays. Kind regards, Patricia Winheim
Alles absolut ok - inkl. Verpackung und Versand… Gerne wieder….
