L'ART BAMOUM par TARDITS-CAMEROUN-BAMILEKE-BAMUM-TRIBAL-AFRICAN ART BAMUM TRIBAL
L'histoire singulière de l’art bamoum(Cameroun) Claude TARDITS 2004 NEUF- MINT! DESCRIPTION: Paris. 2004, 127 pages, 140 illus. bibl. cartes. Texte en français. Présentation de l'éditeur Les Européens établirent des relations avec les populations du futur Cameroun dès le XVIe siècle mais ne pénétrèrent dans les montagnes qu'à la fin du XIXe siècle. Les Allemands entrèrent progressivement en contact avec ces populations réparties entre de minuscules royaumes. Ils découvrirent le royaume bamoum en 1902. Une initiative prise par le roi Njoya à la fin du XIXe siècle. Au début de son règne, contribua à transformer l'art en pays bamoum. Le monarque créa, avec l'aide de son entourage, une écriture et la transforma ... moreafin d'en faciliter l'utilisation en la simplifiant. Il se fit peu après remarquer par ses dessins et ses peintures. La présence européenne lui permit de se procurer du papier, de l'encre et des couleurs. De nouvelles œuvres furent encore présentées aux étrangers qui allaient visiter Foumban, la capitale, où l'on avait rassemblé de nombreux artisans dans une rue de la ville ce qui leur permit de se faire connaître et de continuer à travailler après que le roi Njoya, à la suite des conflits avec l'administration française, eut perdu ses pouvoirs politiques et son rôle de grand commanditaire de l'art. Ce sont ces faits- transformations techniques, apparition d'œuvres nouvelles, développement d'un nouveau marché- qui conduisirent à qualifier de" singulière" l'histoire de l'art en pays bamoum. Des recherches poursuivies dans les années 1960 ont permis de disposer de photographies des œuvres destinées au roi, aux chefs de lignage et aux sociétés de masques ainsi que des œuvres modernes exécutées dans la ville de Fou

Cameroon is a large country with mountainous terrain. Broad savannas and grasslands where a number of centralized kingdoms or chiefdoms have developed each with distinctive individual art traditions while sharing common religious beliefs, political structures and social institutions. Grasslands art serves to indicate ... moresocial status and rank with the most prestigious imagery and material reserved for the king(Fon) and other nobility diminishing in importance as one moves downwards in rank at court. Certain artists and artisans working close by the palace serve the king working in materials and symbols reserved exclusively for him. Ranging from royal regalia of high prestige to objects of everyday usage most were embellished with either simple designs or complex imagery including human and animal images symbolically identified with kingship. Seated upon his stool the king embodies political power and ritual authority with strength and leadership visually reinforced by the image of the buffalo. This stool could well deserve a place in any collection. Today. Such as stool can also be used as a nice low table. Recommended Reading: R.

The masks bearing human and animal figures: The Fon supported by non-secreted societies was believed to have supernatural powers that allowed him to change from man into animal, namely elephant, lizard or buffalo. This allowed him to create a link between the human and spirit realm, to seek guidance from his ancestors. This crossing of the boundaries is only done during special rituals. The elephant and buffalo masks also represent strength and power. Various occupations since the 17th century led to the Bamileke people moving to the South where they intermarried with the Bamum people, this resulted in a cross fertilization of ideas and artistic skills. The Bamilike recognize a supreme god(Si) but they more commonly pay homage to their ancestors. They believe that ancestral spirits are embodied in the skulls. Women are believed to make the soil and land more fertile and are responsible for planting and harvesting crops. The Bamileke men assist with the clearing of the land and are excellent hunters.

We do our best to ensure all items conditions are accurately described and stand behind all of our items 100% Please ask any and all questions prior to bidding. Up for sale today we are offering this unique African Bamileke bronze figure of a warrior from the Cameroon Grasslands. The Bamileke tribe was originally from an area to the north known as Mbam. Although the Bamileke are primarily farmers. They are also hunters and traders. Women are responsible for planting and harvesting due to the belief that women make the soil more fruitful. The major crops grown are yams, peanuts, and maize. The men in the ... moretribe help with clearing the land and hunting. The Bamileke tribe worships a supreme god and their ancestors. Ancestral spirits are embodied in the skulls of deceased ancestors. Skulls of ancestors are kept to give the spirits a place to reside to prevent them from causing trouble for the family. If a skull is not kept, a ceremony must be done to compensate. Much of the art produced by the Bamileke tribe is associated with royal ceremonies. Art objects show the position of a person in the tribal hierarchy. As a person descended or ascended the social ladder, the materials used and the number of pieces changed. In a chief’s residence one would find ancestral figures and masks, as well as headdresses, bracelets, beaded thrones, pipes, necklaces, swords, horns, fans, elephant tusks, leopard skins, terracotta pots, and dishware. All of this was used to assert the chief’s power. Beadwork and masks are common in this tribe. Masks were decorated with copper, cowrie shells, and beads. They were carved to represent male and female heads, stags, buffalo, birds, and elephants. Bamileke masks were usually worn during ceremonies and rituals such as funerals and annual festivals.

Today we have this unique African Bamileke bronze seated court figure from Cameroon. The Bamileke tribe was originally from an area to the north known as Mbam. Although the Bamileke are primarily farmers. They are also hunters and traders. Women are responsible for planting and harvesting due to the belief that women make the soil more fruitful. The major crops grown are yams, peanuts, and maize. The men in the tribe help with clearing the land ... moreand hunting. The Bamileke tribe worships a supreme god and their ancestors. Ancestral spirits are embodied in the skulls of deceased ancestors. Skulls of ancestors are kept to give the spirits a place to reside to prevent them from causing trouble for the family. If a skull is not kept, a ceremony must be done to compensate. Much of the art produced by the Bamileke tribe is associated with royal ceremonies. Art objects show the position of a person in the tribal hierarchy. As a person descended or ascended the social ladder, the materials used and the number of pieces changed. In a chief’s residence one would find ancestral figures and masks, as well as headdresses, bracelets, beaded thrones, pipes, necklaces, swords, horns, fans, elephant tusks, leopard skins, terracotta pots, and dishware. All of this was used to assert the chief’s power. Beadwork and masks are common in this tribe. Masks were decorated with copper, cowrie shells, and beads. They were carved to represent male and female heads, stags, buffalo, birds, and elephants. Bamileke masks were usually worn during ceremonies and rituals such as funerals and annual festivals.

►►SPECIAL►ROYAL BAMILEKE BRONZE MASK w/ELABORATE COIFFURE/HEADDRESS ~African Art
For further details, please visit the item description at our Website(click on the image above) Bamileke Royal Bronze Mask(Cameroon) Description: On offer from our private collection is this marvelous old bronze mask from the Bamileke peoples of Cameroon. The various ethnic groups throughout the Cameroon region. Including the Bamileke, Bamum, Tikar, are renowned for their skilled& highly imaginative metalwork, are known to produce some of the most sought after of all African sculptures. Probably representing royalty. The tribal member or ancestor depicted here bears an expression of elation. Captured in high relief, his well-defined facial features include raised eyebrows, eyes that telescope out of their sockets, a strong, prominent nose, protruding lips. A decorative striated collar, punctuated by bead-like formations along the bottom ... morerim, underscores the chin, while an incised headband accentuates the brow. Crowning the mask's head is an elaborate coiffure/headdress with multiple winged protuberances& raised'bead' adornments set within concentric rings. The center loop at the top of the mask suggests this piece may possibly have been used as a hip mask, worn on the ornate belt of a king or other tribal official. Despite some casting imperfections. This handsome mask is in very good overall condition. With its fairly thin-walled construction, it's not surprising that the lost-wax casting process resulted in some pin-holes in the collar& headdress, as well as a couple of very small holes present in the smooth-surfaced area above the headband. There is native repair to the coiffure(on the upper right side of the mask's coif) judging by the old patina at the site, inside& out, the repair may have been done at the time of casting. With the rich. Chocolaty-brown tone of the bronze, the mask has achie

Antique African Art - Bamun - Bamileke Tribe Cameroon Heavy Cast Bronze Ladle
Offered at auction is an antique bronze ladle. Origin Bamun, probably Bamileke tribe, from Cameroon. Heavy casting, weight 7-8 pounds, 19.5" in length, with a wide, deep ladle bowl. The piece is highly detailed, estimated age from the later 19th century to 1930's era. The large end of the ladle depicts an African face, highly stylized, with cheek scarifications, and detailed hairstyle. The handle of the ladle contains an African native, tall and thin, with a slightly distended belly, clad in a native breechcloth. The figure is seated on or leaning against what might be a tree stump, and is holding an object in the right hand, probably a pestle for crushing herbs and berries. The face and bald head show further evidence of scarification. The ladle has a heavy patina, which is built up especially on the handle where it would be held ... moreby fingers and thumb. The inside of the ladle bowl is quite darkened and heavily encrusted with material from long-term usage. The collector I acquired it from in the mid-1990's was a former museum director and was an expert on African art. He said that the ladle was likely from one of two possible sources, either the house of a wealthy king or chief, or from an important shaman or witch doctor. He believed it was the latter, because of the human figure on the handle holding the pestle, and the scarifcations on the large face and the handle figure. His thinking was that the ladle was used in the preparation and cooking of medications and potions, and that figure ont he handle and the face on the bowl of the ladle were meant to draw out the medicinal essence from the materials being mixed and cooked together. All in all. This is a wonderful example of tribal art, a great native bronze casting in great condition. I've always found it fascinating that in African tribal work there is no division between artworks and utilitarian objects. It is all art. Looking at the fantastic face on the bowl of the ladle, it is easy to see how artists like Picasso, Braque, and Leger were a

He might represent a chief, a dignitary or obviously a warroir or a hunter. The surface indicates some age and exposure to elements. Our figure comes from the Cameroon Grasslands. This is a rather ... morecomplex and remote area both geographically and culturally. The majority of the peoples now inhabiting this region migrated south during the"Fulani Wars" of the 17th century. The Grasslands is dominated today by three large cultures: the Bamun. Bamileke, and the Bamenda Tikar. Each village is led by a primary chief, or"Fon. All people in the area are expected to pay allegiance to this leader. Each Fon is selected by his predecessor, based on the dominant lineage within that community. The Fon is served by a council of elders, who advise him on all important decisions and who also play an important role in the selection of the next Fon. Most chiefs serve for a lifetime, abdicating the throne only when near death. Complex societies also help to structure the community, and the Fon oversees these as well. Most large figures from this area are produced for the Fon, not only to honor him but for his personal use and display. These pieces can be unbelievably complex, taking an enormous amount of time, talent, and money to produce. There are some famous early pictures from Cameroon showing the Fon with his attendants and royal sculpture. The finest of these stunning s

Our piece displays obvious age and intensive use. Our figure comes from the Cameroon Grasslands. This is a rather complex and remote area both geographically and culturally. ... moreThe majority of the peoples now inhabiting this region migrated south during the"Fulani Wars" of the 17th century. The Grasslands is dominated today by three large cultures: the Bamun. Bamileke, and the Bamenda Tikar. Each village is led by a primary chief, or"Fon. All people in the area are expected to pay allegiance to this leader. Each Fon is selected by his predecessor, based on the dominant lineage within that community. The Fon is served by a council of elders, who advise him on all important decisions and who also play an important role in the selection of the next Fon. Most chiefs serve for a lifetime, abdicating the throne only when near death. Complex societies also help to structure the community, and the Fon oversees these as well. Most large figures from this area are produced for the Fon, not only to honor him but for his personal use and display. These pieces can be unbelievably complex, taking an enormous amount of time, talent, and money to produce. There are some famous early pictures from Cameroon showing the Fon with his attendants and royal sculpture. The finest of these stunning sculptures are ornately decorated with colorful beads and

The Bamilike recognize a supreme god(Si) But they more commonly pay homage to their ancestors. Ancestral spirits are embodied in the skulls of the deceased ancestors. The skulls are in the possession of the eldest living male in each lineage, and all members of an extended family recognize the skulls of their group. When a family decides to relocate, a dwelling, which must be first purified by a diviner, is built to house the ... moreskulls in the new location. Although not all of the ancestral skulls are in the possession of a family, the spirits are not forgotten. These spirits have nowhere to reside and may cause trouble for the family. To compensate when a man's skull is not preserved, a family member must undergo a ceremony involving pouring libations into the ground. Dirt gathered from the spot then comes to represent the skull of the deceased. Respect is also paid to female skulls, although details about such practices are lacking.

African Tribal Buffalo Mask - 22 x10 inch Bamileke Bamun Cameroon Grasslands
This is fine example of an Bamileke Buffalo or bush bull mask. This would have been worn by the"fon" or tribal leader during agricultural rites. It is made of wood. Has exaggeratedly carved teeth, flaring nostrils and large horns. It is decorated with white pigment. The size is roughly 21 inches from the top of the horns to the mouth and roughly 10 inches across. Is it three dimensional as can be seen in the photos. I acquired this from a well known psychologist who did chimpanzee research for 45 years. He told me that he had personally brought it back from Africa in the 1970s. if you email me I will tell you which one. I have bought and sold masks from many cultures over the years and- although I am not claiming to be an expert- this one is well constructed and has a true patina of age. It is museum quality and not one of the"trade" ... moremasks that are sold at the airports. There is one spot of house paint on the inside. Probably due to it having been hung on the wall for so long. I did not attempt to remove it so as not to risk damaging the mask.

African Bamileke Bronze Woman Cameroon Museum Primitive Tribal Artifact
African Bamileke Bronze Woman Cameroon Museum Primitive Tribal Artifact SKU#M277174 Twin City Gold has actively bought and sold antiques. Art, jewelry, coins, tools and electronics for over 40 years. We are a trusted and respected dealer. We do our best to ensure all items conditions are accurately described and stand behind all of our items 100% Please ask any and all questions prior to bidding. Today we have this unique African Bamileke bronze figure of a standing woman holding a bird from the Cameroon Grasslands. The Bamileke tribe was originally from an area to the north known as Mbam. Although the Bamileke are primarily farmers. They are also hunters and traders. Women are responsible for planting and harvesting due to the belief that women make the soil more fruitful. The major crops grown are yams, peanuts, and maize. The men in the ... moretribe help with clearing the land and hunting. The Bamileke tribe worships a supreme god and their ancestors. Ancestral spirits are embodied in the skulls of deceased ancestors. Skulls of ancestors are kept to give the spirits a place to reside to prevent them from causing trouble for the family. If a skull is not kept, a ceremony must be done to compensate. Much of the art produced by the Bamileke tribe is associated with royal ceremonies. Art objects show the position of a person in the tribal hierarchy. As a person descended or ascended the social ladder, the materials used and the number of pieces changed. In a chief’s residence one would find ancestral figures and masks, as well as headdresses, bracelets, beaded thrones, pipes, necklaces, swords, horns, fans, elephant tusks, leopard skins, terracotta pots, and dishware. All of this was used to assert the chief’s power. Beadwork and masks are common in this tribe. Masks were decorated with copper, cowrie shells, and beads. They were carved to represent male and female heads, stags, buffalo, birds, and elephants. Bamileke masks were usually worn during ceremonies and rituals such as funerals and annual festivals.
