The repeating bands of geometric patterns incised into the surface, as well as the elegantly flaring foot, body, and handle, may reflect Islamic influences.

As a balafonist he travelled around a lot and could have known Sikire or his works; Thomas Keller, Sikire Kambire, 2015, page 47. Like Sikire Kambire Pessare Dah was born in Gongonbili and lived later in Tankoura, about 8 - 10 km from Loropeni. In contrast to Keller, I suppose he wasn´t known personally to SK, because he was a young boy of 14 years when SK died in 1963 in Gaoua and at that time Pessare was still living at Gongonbili, but obviously, he was sustainably influenced by the SK sculptures in his early works. The enclosed sculptures belong to the last creation phase of Pessare, in which his style became more individual and less influenced by Sikire. A second phase shows a transition from the first to the third phase and was close to the sculptures when we identified the carver's name in 2010 and saw to small sculptured still on the property of a villager of Tankoura. Although these sculptures have traces of ritual use Pessare worked - similar to SK - also for the Western market, like a four-leg stool, which remains more to well-known \"Tansania chairs\" than the typical Lobi stools we collected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/wolfgang-jaenicke.blogspot.de\/2016\/11\/some-reflections-to-work-of-pessare-dah.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eSome reflections about Pessare Dah\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/wolfgang-jaenicke.blogspot.com\/2010\/08\/1692010-gestern-war-es-wieder-so-weit.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDie Identifizierung des Schnitzers Pessare Dah\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/jaenicke-njoya.com\/001anhang\/pessare.da.restauriert.mittel.gross.jpg\" alt=\"Pessare Dah\" width=\"278\" height=\"371\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ePessare Dah, 1949 - 1995\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eHeight: 45 cm \/ 48 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eWeight: 1,2 kg \/ 1,6 kg\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"wolfgang-jaenicke","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43038021320943,"sku":"DSC00002","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0631\/3797\/2463\/products\/DSC00002_59332ac1-1921-4a0a-bc66-26272018fce2.jpg?v=1658408317"},{"product_id":"a-plank-mask-bedu-nafana-related","title":"A Plank Mask - Bedu - Nafana related","description":"\u003cp\u003eA Plank Mask - Bedu - Nafana related, Cote d'Ivoire\/Ghana\/Burkina Faso, wood, the triangular corpus painted in black, reddish and white like a chessboard, beneath a circular top, surmounted on two geometrical painted staffs - symbolizing the horns of a bush cow (Bravman) - decorated with pattern marks the mask as feminine characterized by a more elaborate disk-shaped superstructure, different layers of pigments; several authentic repairs with strips of metal plates, partly rusty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe masquerade cult of the Bedu, which is keeping disaster, illness, and fertility at bay and is increasing the community´s sense of well-being, is still existing in an adapted way.

The Nafana are a Gru-speaking people who are considered part of the Gurunsi group. Though they are a small culture--less than 50,000--they are scattered over parts of Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana, and Burkina Faso, and are mainly hunters and fishermen.

The mask type used goes back to early masks, called Sacrobundi, which were made by the Nafana. These were part of an institution that, in the nineteenth century, was disseminated in the Jaman kingdom, a Bron state, and the adjacent areas of what is today western Ghana. Under the influence of the Christian missionaries, the Sacrobundi mask dances were abandoned in the 1920 and 1930s. Yet at the same time, the first Bedu masks appeared among the Nafana, and were soon adopted by the Degha and Kulango.

After the early 1960th, when the Massa-movement destroyed most of the important Senufo objects, only a few old, authentic Rhythm Pounder were saved and came to the Western world. There are no sculptures from the time before 1960 existing anymore in the Senufo region of Ivory Coast, Burkina and Mali. But in some rural regions, the old animistic tradition is still existing and also the funeral ceremonies, in which the deble rhythm pounder has its ritual function. There are differences in the ceremonies in comparison to the years before 1960. In particular, the holy groves, don´t exist anymore or aren´t known by Western ethnologists. It was secret fields, where the Senufo placed their ritual sculptures in the forest. These precious objects would probably be stolen immediately because in nearly every village the Islamic influence becomes stronger and there are more people, who are against the old animistic tradition than decades before. Now, these objects are protected in huts close to the village. The patina is different from the old sculptures because they aren´t exposed to the weather anymore, even the traces of use are the same. According to the last owner, this sculpture comes from the Northern part of the Senufo region, around Koutiala and was a \"replacement\" sculpture, which was used several years during funeral ceremonies before it was sold to an antique dealer near Sikasso. Carving a sculpture like this requires a skilled craftsman with a high degree of old traditional knowledge. The statics is perfect (in the photo from the front side the statue is a little bit bent, because of the camera focus), but not in reality, no considerable age-crack, extremely hard wood, and incredible technical skill must be the base for the purpose of this statue: to pound this fragile but heavy sculpture rhythmically on the ground.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHomberger, Lorenz (Katalog) Die Kunst der Senufo aus Schweizer Sammlungen.

They might stand in particular for ancestors, or for a collectivity of the dead (ranging from those of a specific kin grouping to the dead generally), or for dangerous spirits that were taken to be human-like in appearance. In different contexts, the same anthropomorphic figure might evoke some or all of these types of being, and it might do so differently for participants, for onlookers, and for those excluded except by hearsay, who enjoyed more or less insight into what was taking place. To make the same point negatively, nothing we know about Middle Benue figures suggests that their unmodified formal properties especially suited them to one type of ritual use rather than another.\" And he continues (ibid.: 233): \"Aside from occasional, slight differences in size, Middle Benue male and female sculptures are similar, differentiated by features of the head (particularly coiffure, earrings, or headgear, which are treated as secondary gendered characteristics)\" Source: Myron Kunin Collection of African Art\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLit.: K.-F.

This common statement about the provenances of the Bamana ritual objects became a teaser for me in the following years. What do we really know about the origin of tribal art objects? In the last years, there was a tendency in collecting and exhibiting tribal art to make analyses in form of stylistic comparisons to find out certain workshops and even identification of specific sculptors. The exhibition in the Rietbergmuseum about „Afrikanische Meister“ in 2015 underlined the attempt to know more about African provenances typified by the \"Art of the Ivory Coast“, which also included those ethnic groups, which are located also in other countries like the Lobi of Burkina Faso and Ghana. Although on the first view it seems to be easier to identify sculptors by their names through interviews and photo documentation in the villages like Susan Vogel did several years ago at the Baule tribe, the stylistic subsumption in relation to the origin, where certain objects are collected, is as enigmatic as before. \\n \\nThomas Keller has recently demonstrated in his new book about the Lobi carver Sikire Kambire, how a certain style was spread off in remote regions. Many later contemporaries (workshops) don´t know anymore, where a certain style is coming from, which we can identify by the marks of its stylistic similarity. From a larger perspective, we recognize that the spread of a style is connected with the migration of ethnic groups. In the huge region, which we subsume to the Bamana it is surprising how big the distances are in which similar styles are appearing.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eBoth - Sarah Brett-Smith and Kate Ezra - emphasize that they can only make statements about the (Bamana) regions in which they have done fieldwork. Nevertheless, styles were mostly assigned in the past to those places of research and not to the places where they are collected. This fact is based on the particularity that works of tribal art are „travelling“ in Africa from one remote area to another before they appear in the Western world.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe information about the provenance, which is accompanying these ritual remnants, is normally more than doubtful because the question of an African provenance was nearly never of great interest for collectors, who were looking more for esthetic value than African provenances.

Back to Segou I showed my local informant these two objects and he corrected me, that this sculpture isn´t a „muso massa“ but an extremely rare „Gwandusu“ sculpture, which doesn't have the normal signs of this type of figure: It has no child and specific signs on the domed crown-like hat, which misled Goldwater once to speak about Queens in the Bamana country and nevertheless - so my informant -  it is a „Gwandusu“, symbolizing fertility by touching the breasts and the obvious pregnant abdomen. Immediately he spoke about the village, where this sculpture and mask is coming from and about another sculpture, he collected for me several weeks before. He knew the blacksmith, who carved the sculpture and the mask and whose name was „Fana“. The other sculpture is stylistically different, but the stool on which the woman is seated has the same signs as the sculpture in the Met.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eLit.: Wolfgang Jaenicke, Gwandusu, blogspot.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/jaenicke-njoya.com\/002.anhang\/gwandusu.araba.DSC00998.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"215\" height=\"482\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eGwandusu Araba, Michael Klein Collection, Germany.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e6.000 - 8.000,- Euro\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eHeight: 118 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eWeight: 12,9 kg\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"wolfgang-jaenicke","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43038025777391,"sku":"ABC01946","price":6000.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0631\/3797\/2463\/products\/ABC01946.jpg?v=1658003283"},{"product_id":"a-remarkable-female-rhythmpounder-called-deble","title":"A remarkable female Rhythmpounder - called Déblé","description":"\u003cp\u003eA remarkable female Rhythmpounder - called Déblé - with an extremely elongated neck, supporting an egg-like head, Ivory Coast, region of Diamtènè, standing on a columnar, slightly concave base; intensive touch patina on neck and arms is verifying a long-lasting ritual use; provenance Mohamed Belo Garba, Korhogo, Ivory Coast, incl. stand.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2.400 - 2.800,- Euro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 132 cm without stand\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 7,5 kg incl. stand\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"wolfgang-jaenicke","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43038025842927,"sku":"FBW04658","price":2400.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0631\/3797\/2463\/products\/FBW04658.jpg?v=1658153073"},{"product_id":"a-baule-couple-of-the-atelier-of-the-masters-of-sakassou","title":"A Baule couple of the \"atelier of the Masters of Sakassou\"","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eA Baule couple of the \"atelier of the Masters of Sakassou\", Ivory Coast, one of the most valued artists of this region, even there are also other excellent, more or less unknown sculptors of this region, which don´t have similar popularity: These two sculptures were standing on the same altar, a thick crusty patina \"makes it possible to identify it with a statue of asia usu - representation dictated by the soothsayer of a \"genie of the bush\" in the form of a beautiful human.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e \u003cem\u003eThis workshop was identified by Susan Vogel in 1994 and referred to as \"Nzipri's Workshop\" (1999: Fig. 12-19), then by Vincent Bouloré who named it \"the hand-tied character workshop\", with reference to the pose of several of them (2000: 196).

Wolfgang Jaenicke Gallery therefore always informs about every newly imported object. Especially about the bronzes from Nigeria shown on this page, which are published in the internet and are accessible to everyone. Organizations dealing with restitution issues, but also freelance art historians employed by the state, such as restitution experts like Benedicte Savoy, are regularly informed about objects in the Galerie Wolfgang Jaenicke. \\n \\nEvery buyer of an art object, regardless of whether it is made of wood, terra-cotta or bronze, must be aware that from a European legal perspective, traditional African art usually came from the respective African country of origin with insufficient export documents. Galerie Wolfgang Jaenicke, Berlin, tries to do justice to this dilemma by acting with the greatest possible transparency. The export policy of African states is problematic for art historical research since African and European dealers usually work covertly due to diffuse legal situations and important information that was passed on from trade to science before 1970 tends to be lost. \\n \\nIn case of uncertainties, please contact the managing director of Jaenicke-Njoya GmbH, Wolfgang Jaenicke.
