Product Description
Colon Agni - Ivory Coast
Product Description
ENGLISH SPEAKING
Dimensions of 19 x 6.5 x 6.5 cms.
Weight about 0.150 kg without packaging.
Materials: Wood, traces of polychromy.
Presumed age: 1960s to early 1970s.
Beautiful woman "settler", of the Agni ethnic group, coming from the south of Côte d'Ivoire.
Representation of a woman seated on an Akan stool. The ringed neck and the "ball-ball" type hairstyle are characteristic of Agni statuary.
The face has primitive features, and gives off a naive and serene expression. Very charming.
Ancient tribal coin.
The painted statuettes cover a wide variety of areas in Africa. Usually devoted to the cult of ancestors, geniuses of fertility or divination, they are found on altars, canoes, in houses or carried on either, among peoples as different as the Yoruba, the Fanti, the Akan, the Ewe etc.
They appeared with colonization, hence their name. Contrary to what some sources say, they are not intended to ridicule the “white man”. By appropriating the power of the colonist, presented with an accessory of European origin, they fully participate in the animist cult. The colonist continues to be born, in certain ethnic groups, and to appear according to the rites, customs and traditions of ancestral Africa.
To fall in love with these statuettes with funny looks and silhouettes. there is no need to be keen on the culture of African societies or to love the traditional art. This is one of the specificities of this expression of "Art Colon". The touching and touching side, the laughter, awakens the fiber of the child that lies dormant in each of us.
Reflection statuettes, hinged statuettes, they express a whole slice of history, and even for those who know how to dream a little, a whole slice of the future.
