Exemplar aus der Arbeitsbibliothek von Dr. Hans-Joachim Koloß, dem Kurator der Afrika-Sammlung des Berliner Völkerkundemuseums. / From the library of Dr. Hans-Joachim Koloß, curator of the African collection of the Berlin Ethnological Museum. - Einband berieben, leichte Randläsuren, Bleistifteintrag auf Vorsatz, einige Seiten minimal angebräunt / binding rubbed, slight edge wear, pencil entry on endpaper, some pages minimally browned. - The Kuba peoples of the Democratic Republic of the Congo created one of the world s great decorative art traditions, producing an unparalleled variety of objects for personal use. In addition to their king figures (ndop), considered among the great sculptural achievements of Sub-Saharan Africa, the Kuba also created a variety of masks and other initiation-related works directly associated with men s societies, whose primary purpose continues to be the enculturation of youth into the core values of society and the veneration of the dead. This book illustrates major examples of Kuba sculpture and decorative arts, for the most part produced in wood. The authors explore the historical and cultural dynamics underlying the proliferation of art-production and the desire for personal advancement within the political and economic spheres from the seventeenth century until the post-colonial period. / Table of Contents The Development of Kuba Visual Arts Introduction Migration of the Central Kuba The Development of Kuba Culture The Creator King Shyaam aMbul aNgoong Nsheng Economic and Political Centre of the Kingdom Competition, Title-holding, and the Decorative Arts Economic Growth and the Development of the Decorative Arts Decorative Arts Figurative Sculpture Harnessing the Power of Nature Spirits Initiation Societies and Masquerade Funeral Rituals and Spirits of the Recently Dead The Kuba in the Twentieth and Twenty-First Centuries Plates Plate Captions Commented Bibliography.
