Lot 1800 | Bedeutender anthropomorpher Tolima Anhänger aus Gold
AN IMPORTANT TOLIMA ANTHROPOMORPHIC GOLD FIGURAL PENDANT - Colombia, Central Highlands, circa AD 500 -1000 - In shape of a flat, stylized human figure with facial features attributed to a Jaguar such as beady eyes and elongated fangs. The reverse with two suspension loops for attaching a cord. Lost-wax cast process and hammered. 19 g.The Tolima peoples of Colombia's Magdalena Valley produced a distinctive type of gold objects and figural pendants that had a high degree of consistency over a considerable period of time. These objects are renowned for their abstract minimal style dominated by geometric symmetry of both straight and curvilinear form.These pendants with zoomorphic and anthropomorphic references, were worn about the neck suspended from cords or thongs. Their standard, identifiable forms verge on abstraction, but facial features such as the long, slender noses, beady eyes, and toothy mouths are depicted more realistically. It has been suggested that the animal references of Tolima figural pendants, relate the figures to shamanism charged with symbolic content. - From the Ludwig Bretschneider Collection (1909-1987), assembled before 1960, illustrated on an exhibition leaflet, when his showrooms were still located in Leopoldstr. 38A, in Munich, prior to 1959 - Very minor wear, the reverse with a small rep.
H. 7,5 cm; B. 6,5 cm
Abstrahiert symmetrisch gestalteter, flacher Anhänger in Form einer stilisierten menschlichen Figur mit Attributen eines Jaguars mit langen Fangzähnen, die aus dem Mund hervor ragen. Auf der Rückseite zwei Ösen zur Befestigung einer Kordel. Diese Art von Anhängern wurden im Guss in der verlorenen Form gestaltet und danach mit dem Hammer bearbeitet. 19 g.Das Volk der Tolima, im kolumbianischen Magdalena-Tal, hat über einen langen Zeitraum hinweg eine besondere Art von Goldobjekten und figuralen Anhängern hergestellt. Diese Objekte sind vor allem bekannt für ihre abstrakten, minimalistischen Formen, die von geometrischer Symmetrie und geschwungenen Linien geprägt wurden. Diese Art von Anhängern mit zoomorphen und anthropomorphen Bezügen wurden an Schnüren oder Bändern um den Hals getragen. Ihre stilisierten Designs grenzen an Abstraktion, lediglich die detailliertere Gestaltung von spezifischen Gesichtszügen, z.B. die Betonung der Nasen- oder Augenpartie sowie hier auch die langen Fangzähne stellen den Bezug zu einem Lebewesen dar. Es ist anzunehmen, dass die Charakteristika von zoomorphen Merkmalen in Verbindung zum Schamanismus stehen.
