300,00 €
Eccezionali Orecchini Kwottenai Kanye da collezione in bronzo, di tradizione Fulani.
Ripresi dal modello originale realizzato in oro, questo rifacimento è fedele sia nella lavorazione sia nella forma.
Oggetto personale femminile di grande pregio, questi orecchini nella cultura del luogo possono essere ereditati alla morte della madre o regalati dal marito, il quale per procurarseli potrebbe anche dover vendere parte delle sue mandrie. Dote che resta alla donna che li riceve, spesso sono molto pesanti e per questo costituiscono un bene facilmente monetizzabile in caso di bisogno.
I Fulani – nome dato a questo popolo dalle genti di lingua inglese, mentre per i francesi si chiamano Peul e loro stessi si definiscono Fulde – sono una popolazione nomade dell’Africa occidentale, che vive di allevamento di bestiame e scambi commerciali; per questo è frequente trovare incise sugli orecchini delle decorazioni con motivi di animali o floreali, per indicare anche l’importanza e la ricchezza della famiglia di origine della donna che poi li indosserà.
Realizzati dagli orafi locali, vengono creati usando una barretta d’oro a 14 carati che, riscaldata e battuta, viene trasformata in sottili lamine alle quali vengono date le forme desiderate ripiegandole in diversi modi.
La parte in alto può essere rivestita di filo di lana rossa per salvaguardare l’orecchio, dato anche il loro peso.
