Object description

En flätad sittmatta, nkwala, med inflätade geometriska mönster. Har varit märkt 06.25.99.

Var med i utställningen "Före Picasso" på Liljevalchs 1988 och hade där nummer 540. Jämför med en större liknande matta 1994.11.498, också den utställd i samma utställning 1988.

"Mayombe-mattorna utmärkas av ett synnerligen fylligt, rent geometriskt mönster, i vilket ofta en egenartad svastikoid figur dominerar." Manker, 1929, s 131. Se bild 108 på s 132 med bildtext: "Mayombe. Matta av samma teknik och färg som mattan å bild 107. Mönstret sammansatt av hakkorsliknande figurer med tre eller flera krökta armar. Denna svastikoid uppträder även i mayombe-folkets tatuering (se bild 41)."

Important to know about the information in the online collection database

Users of the database are warned that some records may include language or terminology dating from the 19th and 20th centuries which depicted people in ways that are obsolete and/or offensive. We are conscious that the inclusion of such terminology is problematic. As an institution, we have chosen to include this historic information in our database because it is part of the documentation for the object, photograph, or archival item. Where known, objects associated with, or photographs depicting, ritual or ceremonial activity have been hidden in the publicly accessible database as there may be restrictions relating to the age, gender, initiation and ceremonial status or clan of the person who may see them. The database may also include the names of deceased persons, which could cause sadness or distress, particularly to relatives of these people.
