EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning wooden and copper spoon from the Kongo Culture, originating from either the Cabinda Region in Angola or the Democratic Republic of Congo. Created by the talented African School, this anthropomorphic cooking utensil stands at an impressive height of 49.5 cm. The intricate craftsmanship is evident in every detail of this ladle-like spoon. Its unique design features legs and a head, giving it a distinct tribal charm that represents the rich cultural heritage of West Angola or Congo. The combination of wood and copper adds to its visual appeal, creating a striking contrast between traditional materials. This photograph captures not only the physical beauty but also tells a story about Congolese artistry and creativity. It serves as a reminder of how everyday objects can be transformed into works of art through anthropomorphism – attributing human characteristics to non-human entities. Displayed here as part of a private collection, this remarkable piece exemplifies both historical significance and artistic excellence within African cultures. The photographer Heini Schneebeli has skillfully captured its essence, allowing viewers to appreciate its beauty even from afar.
