About this book

Language: Bilingual in English and German

This book provides a new insight into a still largely untapped culture of Africa, the Komaland, with the help of numerous illustrations.

The terracotta objects of Komaland were only discovered around 1980 in northern Ghana and have surprised both scientists and art experts and made an intensive study of this culture necessary. Since there are no contemporary, written sources about the Komaland terracottas, they were compared with those of lost and still living cultures (Akan, Djenné, Bulsa, Lobi, Gan) and scientifically processed according to the latest archaeological research.

Summary in German:
Dieses Buch gewährt einen neuen aufschlussreichen Einblick in eine bisher noch weitgehend unerschlossene Kultur Afrikas der Komaland anhand zahlreicher Abbildungen.

Die Terrakotta-Objekte des Komalandes wurden erst um 1980 in Nordghana entdeckt und haben sowohl Wissenschaftler als auch Kunstexperten überrascht und eine intensive Beschäftigung mit dieser Kultur notwendig gemacht. Da es keine zeitgenössischen, schriftlichen Quellen über die Komaland-Terrakotten gibt, wurden sie mit denen untergegangener und noch lebender Kulturen (Akan, Djenné, Bulsa, Lobi, Gan) verglichen und nach neustem Stand der archäologischen Forschung wissenschaftlich aufgearbeitet.
