Trama

Die Goldschmiedekunst Westafrikas genießt durch ihre unvergleichliche Pracht und schöpferische Vielfalt seit Jahrhunderten einen legendären Ruf. Als Zeichen der königlichen Macht aufwändig produziert, sind die Schmuckstücke und Insignien voller symbolischer Bedeutung. Der Fotoband zeigt eine exklusive Auswahl der kostbarsten und schmuckvollsten Exemplare, von filigranen Colliers und Armreifen über Kopfschmuck bis hin zu außergewöhnlichen Ringen, die größtenteils aus dem 19. und 20. Jahrhundert stammen. Zudem wird der historische und kulturelle Zusammenhang, in dem diese Arbeiten entstanden, wie auch ihre technische Herstellung eingehend dargestellt.




Note Libraio

This volume catalogues the impressive gold collection held by the Gold Museum in Cape Town, South Africa. It illustrates and surveys an enormous range of ornamental objects from the Sahel and the central West African forest regions. The pieces date from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and include headdresses, rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings and items of royal regalia. Many are decorated with figurative motifs such as birds, fish and fruit, symbols which refer to local proverbs. Magnificent displays of gold intended as demonstrations of a tribal chief's power and prestige are still worn today in ceremonial occasions. Through his research in the area Timothy Garrard, the world's foremost authority on goldsmith art from the African continent, became acquainted with goldsmith techniques as well as the system of bartering and weighing.His commentary offers a historical and cultural context through which to view the pieces. Affording a starting point for anyone interested in African art, jewellery, decorative arts and fashion, "African Gold" presents African goldwork in all its glory.
