1955.22.0016 :: dosa, kärl

Object description

Dosa med lock, tillverkad i vit metall (troligen nickel).

Dosan är rikt ornamenterad med geometriska mönster och bilder av lejon och elefanter. På undersidan står "Etiopia" ingraverat med etiopisk skrift. Locket har en gjuten knopp, runtom finns en ornamentik bestående av sex lejonhuvuden.

Dosan är gjuten enligt "cire perdue" tekniken, då en modell av föremålet (med ornamenteringar) görs i vax som sedan kläs i lera. Leran bränns tills vaxet rinner ut. Metallen hälls sedan ner i lermodellen som knackas bort när gjutningen är klar. Metoden innebär att inga föremål kan bli exakt likadana. (Ethiopia: design &decoration; 26)

"Dekoren troligen arabisk". (generelkatalogen)

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.
