Beschreibung
D.R. Congo, Songye, a half figure, mankishi, The present item belongs to a small corpus of enigmatic Songye sculptures with heads dramatically turned to one side. The purpose for which these mankishi were intended has not yet been elucidated.
A deep blackish patina covers most parts of the body, the result of many palm oil treatments resulting in a head still covered in this viscous liquid.
The face has a benign expression with half closed eyes and a smiling mouth. The body is shaped as a half-figure with a strong emphasis on geometric forms: a strong tubular neck stands on a slightly waisted torso, the free carved arms issue from rectangular shoulders and the lower body is conceived as a trapezoid with flattened back. Details as fingers, toes, sex and hairdo are left-out. By doing so the artist/specialist was able to carve a powerful vessel for the special ingredients, bishimba, found in the two cavities in the belly and fontanel. Within the examples published, this item has a unique quality. h. 24,5 cm. Provenance: Fred ten Houten. On long term loan Museum Gerardus van der Leeuw, Groningen, between 1970-1996. Galerie de Ruimte, Eersel and private Dutch collection [1]
