power and spiritual role

$60.00

While each African nation has its own worship and rituals, the practice of handling objects is common to all. In contrast to the respectful distance usually accorded to Western sacrificial objects, African sculptures, masks and ritual objects are believed to be imbued with sanctity during the ceremony or ritual in which they were made, after which the sanctity is lost.

So African artworks carry their traces. When they accomplish their ritual purpose, they are usually given a patina, which may be damaged and sometimes repaired. Evidence that really deals with ritual purpose is a value criterion that is more important than provenance, and significantly enhances African sculpture.

The intricacy of the carving shows the creativity and skill of the artist. Revered for their elegance and attention to detail, these masks are among the finest in West Africa.

Ghana: An ‘Akuaba’ fertility doll.

$85.00
This is an Akuaba doll. I'm not going to lie my friend and I struggled with infertility at the same time and bought one for her trip. Soon after, she became pregnant. When I heard of her positive result, I quickly ordered a copy online. Sometimes when you want something so badly, you find yourself doing everything you can to make it happen. Even if that means ordering oddly shaped female wood carvings from the internet. Akuaba dolls are wood carvings from Africa. For infertile women, it is a good luck charm and a symbol of hope. I remember the day it arrived. I broke the packaging and looked directly into the doll's eyes. She felt weightless and easy to hold while I felt so heavy and depressed inside.

So African artworks carry their traces. When they have fulfilled their ritual purpose, they are usually given a patina, which may be damaged and sometimes repaired. Evidence that really deals with ritual purpose is a value criterion that is more important than provenance, and significantly enhances African sculpture. Since the beginning of the 20th century, the Western fascination with African classical art has led to the production of replicas to meet European needs - replicas stripped of their ritualistic character, so there is nothing that can give ancient African sculpture or mask its style and give symbolic power and strength.

Therefore, ancient African sculpture should be viewed according to the above criteria. A work should be carefully observed and, if possible, the rituals and customs of the African society identified as the place of birth should be studied. Suspicion of a sculpture or mask with no pedigree can be confirmed or dispelled by professional evaluation.
