1956.10.0001 :: mask (ansiktsmask)

Object description

Avgjutning i gips av ansiktsmask, 30 cm hög. Mycket kraftig näsa och näsvingar, antagligen gm bruket att i dessa bära guld- eller tumbagaprydnader. Masken har flera upphäningshål, varav tre under munnen på hakspetsen, i underläppen har fyra hål markerats.

Avgjutningens storlek skall motsvara originalets. Originalet är gjort av finpolerat mörkbrun lera. Enligt uppgift av Dr. Gerardo Reichel-Dolmatoff (Cartagena) till Henry Wasén i brev av den 25/4 1956 (finns i korrespond- ensen) skulle originalmasken ha funnits eller köpts av colombianske arkeologien Cubillos (från år 1955 i Popayán) i Río Blanco, Dep. Tolima. Enligt Reichels personliga uppfattning finns inget bevis för att masken skulle vara från Pijao-stammen, som anses vid Instituto Colombiano de Antropología i Bogotá där avgjutningen gjordes 1955 på beställning och betalning av intendent Henry Wassén vid vistelse på institutet.

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.
