A Senufo guardian sculpture, northern Ivory Coast, rising from a cylindrical base, long thick legs, an abstract loincloth, a slender elongated torso with inwards carved back, the hands are by the waist and are both holding small objects, the neck is long and cylindrical, carrying an oval shaped head composed of expressive facial features, a square opened mouth, Lon thick nose, half opened eyes, two large ears on both sides of the face, the hair falls back in a layered style, the top of the head is crowned with a head dress with an X carved out in the middle. The plaque attachment means that the object plays a double role: First it is a field guard and second it plays a ceremonial role; fine scarifications on the face, encrusted dark brown patina. Certificate origin and provenance.

Burkhard Gottschalk writes that this is not a rhythm pounder (Débéle, do:ogèlè), but a very rare stationary used guardian figure. These sculptures are called propi:ibèlè, „children of the Poro".
"Their membership of the Poro would be an explanation for our little knowledge of their significance, because this organisation, which largely determines the village world of the Senufo, is a secret society. ... Even rarer are the statues [propi:ibèlè] … of which it is only said that they belong to the Poro, because there is no reliable information about their use.“ Burkhard Gottschalk, Kunst aus Schwarzafrika.

"Auf den Auktionen wird in jüngerer Zeit nur noch gelegentlich ein altes und bedeutendes Exemplar dieser Statuen (deble) angeboten. Wegen der Aura, von denen die Deble auf Grund ihrer Verwendung bei Beerdigungen umgeben zu sein scheinen, und wegen ihrer Seltenheit stehen diese Statuen bei den Sammlern in einem hohen Ansehen. Noch seltener werden die stationär benurtzen Statuen mit flachem Sockel angeboten, von denen es lediglich heißt, daß sie zum Poro gehören, denn über ihre Verwendung liegen keine gesicherten Erkenntnisse vor."

Mais sobre o vendedor

Eu coleciono há 25 anos e trabalho com arte africana há 20 anos. Fui inspirado pela paixão do meu pai por colecionar, que nos deixou uma coleção de "Colônias Alemãs". Estudei etnologia, história da arte e direito comparado na Freie Universität Berlin sem me formar. Depois de longas viagens por Camarões, Mali, Costa do Marfim, Burkina Faso, Togo e Gana, morei em Bamako e Segou por 10 anos. Em Segou gerenciei a galeria "Tribaloartforum", que teve de fechar em 2012 por causa da guerra no Mali. Depois me instalei em Lomé Togo, onde temos uma filial. Há 16 anos, a Jaenicke-Njoya GmbH foi fundada, e desde então sou seu sócio-gerente. Em 2018, abrimos uma galeria em Berlin Charlottenburg em frente ao Palácio de Charlottenburg e perto do Museu Picasso Berggruen. Nossa equipe é composta por 6 funcionários. Um arqueólogo, um historiador da arte, um fotógrafo, um controlador financeiro, um representante permanente de nossa filial em Lomé, Togo, e um diretor interino em Berlim / Togo. Você pode nos encontrar na web em wolfgang-jaenicke ou Galerie Wolfgang Jaenicke, Klausenerplatz 7, 14059 Berlim, Alemanha.
