Nederlands: Pot Nederlands: Aardewerken pot met deksel versierd met slangen en schorpioenen Local name: Abusua kuruwa |
Description |
Nederlands: De pot wordt volgens Cole (1977: 119) gebruikt bij begrafenissen. Zulke potten worden 'abusua kuruwa' genoemd oftewel 'clan' of 'familie' potten. Ze worden vaak aangetroffen in de zogenaamde 'place of pots' dichtbij een begraafplaats. Abusua kuruwa worden ook aangetroffen in heiligdommen en koninklijke stoelenkamers als bewaarplaatsen voor medicijnen, water en offers. Heel af en toe worden ze ook gebruikt in het huishouden voor het bewaren van het water van de oudste bewoner, degene die het dichtste bij de voorouders staat. De begrafenisfunctie is echter de meest voorkomende.
De motieven op de potten - uitsluitend mens- of dierfiguren - hebben vaak met de dood te maken. De slang zou een spreekwoord symboliseren: 'the rainbow of death encircles every man's neck', letterlijk vertaald 'de regenboog van de dood omringt ieders nek' (Cole 1977: 120) |
