Das ist der Preis für die folgende Bewertung: Female Maks Kpan - Côte D'Ivoire, Baule

Beschreibung : wood, reddish brown shiny patina, black paint, white and red pigment, beautifully modelled oval face, facial features marked by closely arranged eyes and elongated nose bridge, tiny ears nearly ornamentally designed, elaborate coiffure in five lobes, tattoos on forehead and temples, superimposed to bowl-shaped base with drilled holes, slightly dam., permanent vertical crack on the right side of the face (spread with mass), traces of insect caused damage, base. The goli masquerade can be performed both as an entertainment and for the funerals of important men. Four pairs of masks appear two by two in a fixed order: first a pair of disc-faced masks kple kple, next a pair of animal helmet masks goli glen, third a pair of horned face masks kpan pre, and finally two human-faced masks kpan (= senior female mask). Only a few, important goli dances include the final pair, kpan, which appears holding fly whisks as symbols of elderhood. Their performance is theatrically managed for greatest effect. When they arrive, it is nearly dusk, and women have been dancing and singing through the streets in anticipation, begging kpan to come. The women receive the masks as beloved personages, fanning them with scarves and dancing joyously beside them. Continent: Africa
