Das ist der Preis für die folgende Bewertung: Kota Reliquary Figure



Beschreibung : A Fine Kota Reliquary Figure Gabon, Africa, on custom stand. This beautiful cubist sculpture is finely made from wood & covered in brass and mixed metals. These reliquaries' figural sculptures are sometimes referred to as reliquary guardian figures for their role as guardians of the precious contents held within. Their function, however, is more complex in the sense that reliquary sculptures have also served as effective agents of ancestral power in communal rites and ritual performances. Such rites and performances are known for remedying social crises and for ensuring success in matters ranging from fertility and health to hunting and trading. Reliquary ensembles also played an essential role in initiation rituals that pertained to the transfer of family history and genealogy. Beginning in the early 20th century, avant-garde artists - including Europeans such as Pablo Picasso, Fernand Léger and Paul Klee, Americans such as Alfred Stieglitz, and Africans such as Ernest Mancoba - widely collected and drew inspiration from Kota art.
