1907.42.0004 :: rökelsekar

Object description

Rökelsekar med lock tillverkat i metall, sannolikt brons. Rökelsekaret används för förbränning av rökelse vid den etiopiska kyrkans gudstjänst.

Locket är genombrutet med utskurna triangelornamenteringar. Karet är upphängt i tre grova kedjor (det fjärde hänger trasigt) och kan svängas fram och tillbaka för att öka lufdraget och förbränningen.

Skick: Karet ser illa åtgånget ut. Det är skevt och de två korsen (dekoration på locket), liksom plattan som foten står på, är böjda. Den gula metallen kan bara anas under den svarta ytan av fett och smuts.

"Tsenha", är det lokala namn som uppges i generalkatalogen. (HTB)

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.
