Koloß / Völkerkunde-Museum Berlin. - Englisch. - Die Bakongo (Plural, auch Kongo, Singular Mukongo) sind eine bantusprachige ethnische Gruppe im Mündungsgebiet des Flusses Kongo in Zentralafrika, vor allem in der Demokratischen Republik Kongo (Kongo-Kinshasa), der Republik Kongo (Kongo-Brazzaville) und den angrenzenden Gebieten Angolas (Provinz Zaire und Provinz Uíge) einschließlich Cabinda und Gabuns. ... (wiki) // Minkisi, ritual statuettes and other objects made by the Kongo people, were used to identify and correct the causes of misfortunes. Equipped with minkisi, Kongo diviners detected and confronted occult forces at work. This book catalogs a collection of minkisi brought to Sweden by ethnographer Karl Edward Laman in the second decade of the twentieth century and preserved in the Swedish Ethnographic Museum in Stockholm. Together with the objects, Laman recorded commentaries by Kongo associates on the function and meaning of specific minkisi. Drawings of forty-five minkisi are juxtaposed here with the corresponding descriptive texts in KiKongo and in English translation. Introductory notes provide ethnographic information about the minkisi, which are organized into four major categories associated with divination, healing, wealth and warfare, and mystical attack. "Art and Healing of the Bakongo" provides unique documentation of an African world view and of a much-admired form of traditional African art. An important resource for students of African art, folklore, religion, and anthropology and for specialists in Kongo culture.
