Sculpture of chained slave |
| Description |
English: Bronze statue of a chained slave. Although slaves or prisoners of war have often been depicted in metal figures, among others by the Dogon in Mali, no similar object is known to have been documented.
Slavery existed in Africa long before the Europeans came. Neighboring peoples were taken prisoner of war and trafficked or put to work. The statue's facial characteristics is typical of the style of Cameroon: bulging eyes, large teeth and a strong nose. Nederlands: Bronzen beeld van een geketende slaaf. Hoewel slaven of krijgsgevangenen wel vaker werden uitgebeeld in metalen figuren, o.a. bij de Dogon in Mali, is er in de literatuur geen gelijkend voorwerp te vinden. Slavernij bestond in Afrika al tijden voordat de Europeanen kwamen. Naburige volken werden krijgsgevangen gemaakt en als slaaf doorverhandeld of te werk gesteld. De vorm van het gezicht van het beeld is typisch Kameroens: bolle ogen, grote tanden en een krachtige neus. |
