女像柱のある儀式用腰掛け

ca. 1840–1870
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 344
ルバ族の首長の所有物の中で最も重要な品は、複雑な彫刻が施された女像柱を持つ腰掛でした。これらは支配権を掌握する儀式に不可欠の要素でした。ルバ族は女系継承と遺産相続を伝統としたため、王座に施された女像柱は首長を象徴的に支える女性の祖先と見なされていました。この儀式用腰掛けは、アフリカのこの地域がヨーロッパの植民地となる前の最も有名な彫刻作家のひとりであるブーリ・マスターの作とされています。作品の細長い容貌、突き出た頬骨、そして気迫に、この作家の豊かな表現力が示されています。
