Descubra la tasación y los precios de esta y más obras de arte africano en Africartmarket. A Small, Checkered Nafana Bedu Mask., 1897



Descripción : L 101 cm. These very spectacular masks originated among the Nafana of north-eastern Ivory Coast, but, as they are considered very powerful, they have been borrowed by other ethnic groups and by the Nafana of Ghana. Their predecessors were among the first masquerades observed by a European, namely Richard Austin Freeman in the late 1880's (Freeman, R. Austin, 'Travels Life in Ashanti and Jaman' London: Archibald Constable, 1897), 'Among the most impressively scaled masks in sub-saharan Africa, they serve to actually rid communities of disease or to insure against possible sickness. They also are called upon to avert agricultural disaster, human infertility an severe drought.' (Bravman, René A., 'Gur and Manding Masquerades in Ghana', African Arts, XIII-1, 1979, pp. 44-51). Provenance Collected in situ in Bondoukou region (Ivory Coast) in the 1960s. Belgian collection. Yale GvR 102076. Cfr. a very similar mask from Nancy & Herbert Baker collection sold at Sotheby's, New York, 11 November 2005 (lot 63). RefSou6618
