AKYEMPIM MAN’S WRAP. Ashanti people, Bonwire Ghana. “Akyem” is the Ashanti word for a shield. It is a symbol for heroic deeds and bravery. According to our informant, Akyempim refers to “thousands of shields which our ancestors were behind during the war with the British and it was their protection and their defense and means like if you are fighting with Ashantis and you kill thousands another thousand will come and fight you until they defeat you”. Shields are represented in the design of the cloth by the criss-crossing weft blocks. This cloth was woven by Nana Yaw Okai, a famous Ashanti weaver and one-time Chief of Bonwire. The cloth is composed of 24 hand woven, hand sewn strips, and was reported to be more than 75 years old when collected in 2005. Indigo cotton, silk. 124in x 72in.

RAFFIA LOOM. Kuba people, Democratic Republic of Congo. This single heddle loom is a type that was used widely in West Africa until the early 20th century, but now it is only found in areas of the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Central African Republic no longer safely accessible where limited amounts of raffia cloth are still produced. This example said to date from the last quarter of the 20th century was collected in 2004. It is remarkable because a partly woven raffia textile remains on the loom. Raffia fibers, raffia cloth, wood. L27in x W 44in. (See attached picture and Lot # 5 for a complete raffia dance skirt). Exhibited at the Pen and Brush Gallery New York 2005.

HEAVY BRASS ANKLET. Mongo or Kondo people, Democratic Republic of Congo. Dates from the early 20th century or before. To make this anklet, molten brass was poured into a flat mold in the soil that was created from the impression made with a wooden form. When still hot, the flat brass ingot was wrapped around the heavily padded ankle of a wealthy man’s wife. Although now tarnished with age, the anklet would have been kept brightly polished by the woman who wore it. It served as a store of wealth, like money in a bank account, and as a mark of high prestige in the community. Knowledge of how the procedure of attaching and removing the anklet was actually performed is no longer extant. Considering the method by which the anklet was produced, the finely etched surface design with intersecting bands of thin parallel lines is truly remarkable. The inside reveals the uneven texture of the cooled molten brass, providing a strong contrast with the finely finished outer surface. H 4.75in Diameter 4.5in. Weight 7lb 3oz.

WOMAN’S (MMABAAN) WRAP. Ashanti people, Ghana.

Alternate strips are solid blue with fewer weft faced designs. This cloth was collected in Bonwire, the center of Ashanti weaving in July 2004 from Gyasi Solomon whose father was a master weaver. According to Solomon, this cloth belonged to a member of the Ekona clan. Made from 12 hand woven, hand sewn strips. Cotton, silk. 68.5in x 39.5in.

The arms would swing back and forth as the masker danced. The mask has been repainted more than once with the deepest layer having been white or pale blue. The helmet consists of four triangular faces that act a legs when the mask was set on a surface such as a table. This is significant because some Temne/Lokko masks were also altars to Mami Wata, a water spirit. The four faces and the figure seated on the mask have Hindu-inspired facial features and decorative elements typically found on Jolly Society masks (see Lot # 11). Wood, paint, nails. H 22.5in. Published in Rosen/Rosen 2013 p. 61 Figs 67-68. Exhibited at the Free Library Gallery Philadelphia 2012.

JOLLY (JOLLAY) SOCIETY FACE MASK. Temne people, Makene, Sierra Leone. Attached to the top of the face mask with curved eye-slits is a small three-dimensional female head with a smiling visage and prominent neck rings. Ruffs made from white yarn decorate both faces. They represent highly prized ruffs that in earlier slave trade times would have been made from fur or ostrich feathers. Mirrors on the front and back provide protection from evil spirits by deflecting their emanations. The performer was disguised by a cloth shroud hanging from the back of the mask that now covers the custom base. In performance, the small upper head rocked back and forth. Wood, paint, wire, cloth, yarn, decorative material. H 21in. See LOT # 35 FOR A RELATED MASK. Exhibited at the Free Library Gallery Philadelphia 2012. Published in Rosen/Rosen 2013 p89 Fig 117.

JOLLY (JOLLAY) SOCIETY FACE MASKS. Temne people, Sierra Leone. Both were worn in Jolly (Jollay) Society masquerades. (A) Very old female mask showing wear from ceremonial use. The hole in the central lobe of the coiffure contained a receptacle for “medicine” that enhanced the power of the mask. Surface abrasions reveal several layers of paint, suggesting that this mask was highly prized and refreshed multiple times. The mask’s features resemble those of a mask carved by Abdul Aziz Lasisi Alaode Mukhtarr (Ajani) published in Plate 5 by John W Nunley in his seminal book on the Jolly Society and related groups, “Moving with the Face of the Devil”. Wood, paint, nails. H 9in. Published in Rosen/Rosen 2013 p85 Fig 110. (B) Male mask painted with navy blue enamel. A few evident abrasions reveal previous coats of red and pink paint. The facial features are similar to the mask in (A), suggesting it might be the work of the same artist. The coiffure is parted into two asymmetrical lobes. Wood, paint. H 9in. Published in Rosen/Rosen 2013 p 86 Fig 110.

MINSERAH MISSIONARY CHURCH OFFERING RECEPTACLE. Mende people, Sierra Leone. Minserah sculptures are female altar figures at which women come to pray for help with fertility and other personal issues. This exceedingly unusual minserah has features of a White colonial woman (long hair tied into braids with tasseled ends hanging down to each shoulder and a small mouth with pursed lips) and an African woman (neck rings and forehead scarifications. After the torso was transected at the mid-abdomen level, the upper abdomen and chest were hollowed out in order to insert a bell and a hole was cut in the back. Then the figure was nailed to a collection box that is now lost. Offerings in the form of coins dropped into the 1.5inch slot in the back would ring the bell as they fell into the box. The value of the coins could be told from the sound of the bell. This was an ingenious method for attracting African worshipers by bringing one of their altars into the church as a functional object. Wood, pigment, nails, bell. H 18.5in. Ex Jeremiah Cole collection.

ANTHROPOMORPHIC BAWOONG TCHITCHERI. Moba people, Togo. Relatively abstract tchitcheri figures represent ancestors. They vary in height from 12 inches or less to several feet tall. This example is in the intermediate height category referred to as Bawoong. It would be kept in a home where it served as an altar that was treated with libations such as gin or chicken blood when it is petitioned for protection, health or prosperity. Tchitcheri are carved by sons of diviners who are ritually enabled to create these important objects. Failure to follow prescribed rituals is said to risk blindness or insanity. Taller figures (tchitcheri sakuna) were placed outside the family compound or in cultivated fields to protect crops. The carved necklace on this exceptional example suggests that it represents a female ancestor. It came from the Dapaong region in northern Togo and was collected in Togo in 2007. On custom base. Wood, libations. H 28.5in.

BATIK TEXTILE STILL PARTLY SEWN. Lomé, Togo. This partly completed cotton batik textile provides an opportunity to see the technique in use. It was collected in 2007 at the “Village Artisinal de Lomé” where it was being worked on by D’almeida Ernestine Akpé, the assistant to the batik dye master (“maitresse teinturiere”) Mme Anoumou Akpabie K. I. Madjé. In this process, white cotton cloth was first dyed entirely turquoise. Then it was sewn with white nylon thread in a particular way to create numerous rows of tight clumps and placed in vat of maroon dye. Cloth sewn in the clumps resisted the maroon dye, thereby keeping the turquoise pattern. The attached picture shows Ernestine cutting the nylon threads to release the resist. Cotton, dye, nylon thread. 85in x 41in.

JOLLY (JOLLAY) SOCIETY HEAD CREST MASK. Temne people, Sierra Leone. This towering mask is situated and rotates on a nail in the dome of half of a large coconut shell.
