Kynokephaler Baule SchalenträgerHöhe: 62 cm. Elfenbeinküste/ Region Beoumi, Ende 19. Jahrhundert.Hartholz, geschnitzt, Stoff. Kynokephale (aus dem Altgriechischen) zur Bezeichnung eines hundsköpfigen Fabelwesens. Die Wahrsager der Baule verfügten über sogenannte „aboya“, halb menschliche, halb animalische Statuen, welche auf geweihten Altären in Hütten außerhalb der Siedlungsgrenzen aufbewahrt wurden. Im Zusammenhang mit ihrer Verehrung wurden den Bildnissen in der Regel beschwichtigende Opfergaben in Form von Nahrungsmitteln dargebracht. Es folgte ein rituelles Besprühen der Oberfläche der Figuren selbst sowie ihrer Opferschalen. Diese Zeremonien hatten den Zweck, die Dorfgemeinschaft vor Landschafts- und Waldgöttern zu schützen, deren Verdruss die Quelle unendlichen Übels für das Bauernvolk darstellte. Die Baule fürchteten vor allem die zerstörerische Kraft und den Wahnsinn des kynokephalen „Mbotumbo“. Eine andere Tradition schreibt der Hybridfigur eine zwischen den Menschen und dem höheren Wesen „Alurwa“ vermittelnde Rolle zu, was das Mischwesen zu einem Verantwortlichen für das Leben nach dem Tod macht. Der Kynokephale wird mit leicht angewinkelten Beinen auf einer kleinen runden Basis stehend dargestellt. Die Unterarme sind vom Körper weggestreckt, während die Hände auf Brusthöhe ein Gefäß für Opfergaben halten. Die gesamte Figur ist nach ausgeprägtem zeremoniellem Gebrauch von einer ausgeprägten und schönen Patina überzogen. Auf Präsentationssockel. Provenienz: Europäische Privatsammlung. Auktion Binoche et Giquello, „Arts d’Afrique et d’Océanie“, Paris, 22. Juni 2017, Lot 45.Privatsammlung, Deutschland. (1270021) (13)Cynocephaly Baule bowl-bearerHeight: 62 cm.Ivory Coast/ Béoumi region, late 19th century.Hardwood; carved and fabric. Cynocephaly (from ancient Greek) characterizes a dog-headed mythical creature. The soothsayer of the Baule people had so called "aboya", half-human, half-animal statues where kept on sacred altars in huts outside the boundaries of settlements. The entire figure is covered in a beautiful patina due to its regular ceremonial use. Provenance:European private collection.Auction Binoche et Giquello, “Arts d’Afrique et d’Océanie”, Paris, 22 June 2017, lot 45.Private collection, Germany.

Whiteway & C. Gere, Nineteenth-Century Design; From Pugin to Mackintosh, London 1993, p.175.At the time of his death in 1881, the esteemed architect and designer William Burges was widely thought to be the most influential and gifted figure of his generation. An unstable and extravagant eccentric, he was a brilliant pre-Raphaelite architect who pursued his artistic goals via an idealised vision of the past. In his work he sought to escape from both modern industrialisation and the prevalent Neoclassical architectural style of the establishment and re-affirm the architectural and social values of a utopian medieval England. Standing within the tradition of the Gothic Revival, his works echo his predecessor Pugin and his contemporaries of the pre-Raphaelite brotherhood, whilst heralding those of the Arts and Crafts movement.In a short but illustrious career he won his first major commission for Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral in Cork in 1863 when he was thirty five working with a long established team of craftsmen and artisans he produced a small but architecturally varied output including castles, houses, churches, a warehouse, a university and a school, although many of his designs were either never executed or subsequently demolished. Of Burges's works, his most notable are Cardiff Castle, constructed between 1866 and 1928, and Castell Coch constructed between 1872 and 1891, both of which were built for John Crichton-Stuart, 3rd Marquess of Bute. Aside from his architecture, Burges also designed metalwork, sculpture, jewellery, furniture and stained glass. He also gave a series of lectures called 'Art Applied to Industry' to the Society of Arts in 1864, illustrating the breadth of his artistic interests. Burges was a notable designer of Gothic-inspired metalwork and jewellery and who is now seen as the successor to architect and designer A.W.N. Pugin in refining and developing the Gothic revival style. In his book, William Burges and the High Victorian, the author and art critic Prof. J Mordaunt Crook states that 'Burges's genius as a designer is expressed to perfection in his jewellery and metalwork'. He produced a 'dazzling' array of religious artefacts including candlesticks, chalices, crosses either as individual commissions or as part of the decorative schemes for buildings. Burges also had an early and close connection to the Ecclesiological Society taking on the role of superintendent of the Society's church plate scheme in 1864. However, his most notable metalworks were created for himself, often from the proceeds of the winning of an architectural competition. Examples include his Elephant Inkstand and a pair of jewelled decanters, paid for by the fees for the plans of the Crimea Memorial Church and his series of lectures, 'Art Applied to Industry', and the Cat Cup, created in commemoration of the Law Courts competition. He also designed more utilitarian articles including silverware featuring various fantastical creatures including mermaids and spiders and a set of knives and forks specifically designed for his own residence, The Tower House, with the handles carved as types of meat and vegetables. His own large collection of historic armour was subsequently bequeathed to the British Museum upon his death. Hart, Son, Peard & Co. (1842–1913) were British architectural metalworkers basedin London and Birmingham most associated with the production of ecclesiastical works.Founded in 1842 in Wych St, off The Strand, by bible-trained ironmonger Joseph Hart who was also a member of the Ecclesiological Society, they became artistic metalworkers specialising in ecclesiastical manufactures after merging with Birmingham-based Peard & Jackson in 1866–67. Also skilled in sculpture and with an agent in Paris, Henri Collet, the firm made Burges designs by J.P. Seddon, B.J. Talbert, Alfred Waterhouse and William Butterfield. and importantly had a long-sta...
