Product description
This sculpture represents a female figure symbolizing motherhood, an essential theme in traditional African art. Coming from the Tikar art of Cameroon, this bronze embodies fertility, protection and the importance of women in society. The woman is represented in a majestic posture, with a broad smile and expressive features that recall maternal joy and pride. She holds her child and is ready to breastfeed him, reinforcing the idea of motherhood as the gift of life and sacred responsibility. The details of the jewelry adorning her neck, her wrists, her ankles, and the intricate designs on her body demonstrate the exceptional know-how of Tikar artisans, who excel in bronze work. The figure's prominent belly and marked breasts are symbols of fertility, signs of the importance of the woman's role as mother and nurturer in Tikar society. The posture of the statue, stable and well anchored, expresses strength and resilience. Characteristics: - Origin: Cameroon, Tikar ethnic group - Material: Bronze - Remarkable details: Marked facial expressions, detailed jewelry and ornaments, symbolic of fertility and motherhood. - Style: Traditional Tikar representation, mixing the sacred and the everyday. Meaning and symbolism: In Tikar culture, motherhood is seen as a direct link with ancestors and spirits. This sculpture is much more than a work of art; it is a spiritual representation which evokes the continuity of the lineage and the blessing of the ancestors. Motherhood statues are often placed in ritual or ceremonial contexts to honor fertility and protect new generations. Use and impact: Such a coin could have been used during ceremonies to invoke protection over children and ensure the prosperity of the clan. As a collectible, it brings a sense of connection to ancestral traditions and enriches the space with deep symbolism. This sculpture is an eloquent example of how African art unites aesthetics and meaning, offering the observer an insight into the values and beliefs of a unique culture. Presumed age: mid-20th century Dimensions: height 84cm, width 24cmProduct specifications
