On sait en effet que les Mbole pratiquaient la pendaison en cas de non-respect des règles de la société <span style="font-style: italic;">Lilwa</span>, société secrète fortement hierarchisée avec quatre rangs principaux (Isoya, Lofinga, Yekama, Lokolo). Les femmes occupaient donc un grand rôle dans la société Mbole. La présence de mutiples trous sur a face permettaient d'assurer une parfaite vision tout en dissimulant complètement le visage du bourreau (Kumi). A noter que la coiffe confectionné à partir d'écorces d'arbres (semblable au tissus <span style="font-style: italic;">Mbuti</span>) est encore présente.<br />L'art des Mbole est surtout réputé pour sa statuaire dont les fameuses représentations de pendus, aussi connues sous le nom de Ofika. En revanche, on sais encore peu de choses sur les masques Mbole et en particulier sur ces masques dits "d'exécution" dont peu d'exemplaires ont été récoltés.<br /><br /><br />Bois léger, kaolin, étoffe d'écorce battue pygmée.<br />Hauteur: 30 cm (sans la coiffe)<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Provenance </span>: Collection particulière.<br /><br /><br /><a href="mailto:contactafricanartcollection@yahoo.fr?subject=Masque%20facial%20Yohoure%2038cm%20%28Ex-Holleman%29"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">Informations sur demande/Informations on request</span></div></span></a>Mail: contactafricanartcollection@yahoo.fr<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Bibiographie</span><br /><ul><li>100 Peoples of Zaïre and Their Sculpture: A Handbook.

Comme souvent en afrique, la vision de ces masques est strictement interdite aux femmes.</div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Le masque présenté ici est surmonté d'un calao ou d'une variété de pic. Dans la plupart des villages, ce type de masque est rattaché au groupe "<span style="font-style: italic;">je</span>" au sein duquel il constitue le quatrième des sept masques "<span style="font-style: italic;">je</span>". Son intervention se produit lors des funérailles, où le masque à une fonction de purification symbolique. Il se penche au dessus du corps du défunt et le touche. Selon les Yohouré, ce masque "détruirait les vers dévorant le corps".</div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Bois dur, reste de pigments.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Hauteur: 38 cm<br /><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Provenance:</span> Collection particulière.

Lwalu), <a href="http://www.uiowa.edu/%7Eafricart/toc/countries/Congo_%28Zaire%29.html">Congo (RDC).</a> Les Lwalwu, établis au sud du Zaïre, à la frontière avec l'Angola, sont célèbres pour leurs masques à la composition équilibrée. Il existerait au moins six types différents de masques Lwalwa, certains féminins (<span style="font-style: italic;">ex: Mushika </span>et <span style="font-style: italic;">Kashika</span>), d'autres masculins (<span style="font-style: italic;">ex: Mvondo</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Nkaki</span> et <span style="font-style: italic;">Shifola</span>). Celui-ci est un masque de type "<span style="font-style: italic;">Mvondo</span>".<br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Les masques <span style="font-style: italic;">Mvondo</span> se caractérisent par un nez long et fin se prolongeant jusqu'au milieu du front. Le profil de ce nez, triangulaire et proéminent rappelle le puissant bec du Calao. Les protubérances situées de part et d'autre des yeux cernés de kaolin représentent des scarifications chéloides nommées <span style="font-style: italic;">Kankolo</span> ou <span style="font-style: italic;">edjindula</span>.<br />La coiffe est généralement décorée de motifs géométriques soulignés de kaolin (voir photo). La cordelette, située juste sous le nez et encore présente ici était maintenue par le danseur entre ses dents afin d'assurer le bon maintien du masque lors des danses.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">La pigmentation rouge typique est due à l'application d'un mélange d'huile et de graines de kakula (<span style="font-style: italic;">Bixa orellana</span>).<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">A l'origine ces masques étaient destinés aux rites d'initiations et notamment lors de la circoncision des jeunes garçons dans les sociétés ngongo tout autant qu'aux rites de chasse ou de fertilité pour apaiser les esprits ou leur réclamer des bienfaits.

Ces deux villages de la région de Bloléquin se regardent en chien de faïence. Les derniers cités ont même subi la furia des autres qui ont mis leur village à sac. A l’origine, une loi traditionnelle bafouée.</em></strong></div><div><br /></div><div></div><div><br /></div><div align="justify">Rien ne va à Tinhou. Rien ne va entre Tinhou et Diboké, les deux plus importants villages du canton Bôo dans le département de Bloléquin. Tinhou a été incendié et pillé, il y a deux semaines, par des habitants de Diboké. Le feu couve toujours. Que s'est-il passé pour que ces deux villages deviennent subitement des ennemis mortels ?Dix jours après l'attaque en règle qu'il a subie de la part des populations de son voisin Diboké, le village de Tinhou panse toujours ses blessures et porte son deuil. Mais, hélas il n'est pas au bout de ses peines. Le vendredi 25 janvier dernier, aux environs de 17 heures, quand notre équipe de reportage arrivait dans le village de Tinhou (à quelque 10 km au sud de Bloléquin), elle a trouvé un village meurtri, couvert par la désolation. A peine notre véhicule atteint-il les premières cases que des femmes affolées, criaient des complaintes dans tous les sens. Leurs ennemis de fait de Diboké, nous ont-elles appris, venaient de mettre le feu à une plantation de cacao, dont le propriétaire, choqué, venait de perdre connaissance. "Après le village, ce sont les campements qu'ils ont pillés et brûlés. Maintenant, ce sont les plantations qu'ils incendient" s'indignent les femmes. Qu'est-ce qui a bien pu provoquer une telle colère de Diboké ? Voilà ce que nous ont raconté les témoins oculaires. Tant de Tinhou, de Diboké que des villages environnants. </div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify">Tout est parti le dimanche 13 janvier 2007 d'une altercation entre un masque venant de Diboké en partance pour Tuambly et un jeune de Tinhou. Le masque est un masque bagarreur. Chez les Guéré, il y a des masques de médiation, des masques chanteurs, des masques danseurs, des masques amuseurs et des masques…bagarreurs. Le masque bagarreur de Diboké en partance pour Tuambly arrive à Tinhou. Il attaque un premier groupe de jeunes qui prend la fuite. Il poursuit quelques-uns. Et comme la coutume l'exige, le chef de province le convainc avec une somme de 450f de poursuivre son chemin. Le masque arrive donc à un autre carrefour du village. Il s'en prend à un autre groupe de jeunes et rencontre plus loin l'un d'entre eux. Il est de la famille Ganhou. Et les masques ne doivent en aucun cas s'approcher des membres de cette famille (cela aussi relève de la coutume). Le jeune se présente donc. Mais le masque l'assomme avec son bâton. Le jeune, blessé à la tête, tombe et saigne abondamment. Le masque l'abandonne et s'en va. Les camarades du jeune le découvrent mal en point et le conduisent au dispensaire pour des soins. Mais ne s'arrêtent pas là. Ils poursuivent le masque et le rattrapent près de Tuambly. Là-bas, ils le frappent. S'en suit alors un affrontement entre les jeunes de Tinhou d'une part et les suiveurs du masque de Diboké et leurs hôtes de Tuambly d'autre part. C'est la débandade. Dans la mêlée, trois jeunes fuient en direction de Tinhou et Diboké et, épuisés en route, ils se couchent dans la broussaille. Un motocycliste qui passe par là, les prend pour morts et repand la nouvelle à Tinhou. Mais surtout à Diboké. A Diboké donc, on considère que non seulement, Tinhou a frappé leur masque mais a "tué" trois des leurs. Même si quelque deux heures après, la chefferie de Tinhou ayant revu les 3 jeunes déclarés morts rassure la chefferie de Diboké. La décision est prise à Diboké. Une expédition punitive à Tinhou. Ayant eu vent de ce que Diboké pourrait venir demander des comptes, la chefferie de Tinhou mandate quelques hommes dont les mères sont natives de Diboké. Avec le statut de neveux, ils ont pour mission d'aller devant les furieux avec un bélier aux cornes reliées par des rameaux de palme (ceci a valeur de drapeau blanc chez les Guéré) en vue de les calmer. Par ailleurs, croyant bien faire, Tinhou demande à tous ses jeunes, par qui tout est arrivé, de quitter le village. Mais rien n'y fit. Mieux, c'est une aubaine. Le lundi 14 janvier, au petit jour, Diboké, avec son chef, attaque. Ses hommes sont armés de machettes, de lances, de fusils de chasse, mais aussi de kalachnikov (selon des témoins, il y en aurait au moins une quinzaine). Ils cassent, pillent et incendient les habitations. Les populations de Tinhou fuient, abandonnant le village aux assaillants. Le bilan de l'agression est lourd : 24 habitations ont été saccagées puis incendiées, d'autres pillées dont celle de Badié Jean Camille, acheteur de produits et frère aîné du ministre Banzio, qui a perdu 10 millions de francs, 24 bœufs, 200 poulets, 200 cabris et moutons tués ou emportés, 9 blessées. Aux "soldats" de Diboké sont venus s'ajouter dans la journée du 14 janvier ceux des villages de Tuambly, de Médibly et de Séably. </div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify">Dix jours après cette agression, l'affaire est toujours aux mains de la gendarmerie de Bloléquin, sans autre suite. Tinhou vit dans la crainte d'autres attaques, puisque des actes, aux dires des populations, se poursuivent encore dans les campements et plantations.Toutefois, le 25, nous avons trouvé à Tinhou un huissier de justice venu faire le constat, pour le compte des cadres du village qui entendent porter plainte. Il faut ajouter que le butin, selon des témoins, a été chargé sur 3 camions Kia et 2 camionnettes bâchées qui attendaient.</div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"><strong>Eddy Péhé.</strong></div><div align="justify"><strong>Envoyé spécial à Tinhou</strong> </div>AfricanArtcollectionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17123780556100659531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6574870021003715557.post-60180786705737055272008-01-15T20:59:00.000+02:002008-01-15T21:09:29.641+02:00Nouveaux sites commerciaux d'Art TribalPour information, Rand Smith (<a href="http://www.randafricanart.com/index1.html">Randafricanart</a>) vient de mettre en ligne deux sites commerciaux:<br /><a href="http://www.discoverafricanart.com/">DiscoverAfricanArt</a><br /><a href="http://www.randtribal.com/">RandTribal</a><br /><br />Des sites qui méritent le détour !AfricanArtcollectionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17123780556100659531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6574870021003715557.post-5681095675650356232008-01-04T23:23:00.014+02:002008-08-12T23:40:05.585+03:00Masque Kuba Pwoom itok (Congo RDC)<div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 220px; height: 243px;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_-J4pW0QxnfM/RyIuB1SMhvI/AAAAAAAAAig/Gnr6941r-8U/s400/Kuba+Pwoom+Itok+mask_6a_540Wm.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5125709934919190258" border="0" /><br />Ancien masque frontal <span style="font-style: italic;">Pwoom itok</span> (syn <span style="font-style: italic;">Ishyeenmaal,</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">ish</span><span style="font-style: italic;">endemaal</span><span>)</span><span style="font-style: italic;"> </span>de l'ethnie<a href="http://www.uiowa.edu/%7Eafricart/toc/people/Kuba.html"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Kuba/Bushoong</span></a> du <a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_-J4pW0QxnfM/RmZtH0RKowI/AAAAAAAAAM8/J-A-uwcxjKc/s1600-h/Ethnies+du+Congo.bmp"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Congo RDC</span></a> (Ex-Zaïre).<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Les masques <span style="font-style: italic;">Pwoom itok </span>sont facilement reconnaissables à leur coiffure caractéristique qui associe volontiers des plumes, ainsi qu'à leur yeux protubérants et coniques dont l'iris est percé de plusieurs orifices.
