Sculpt\u00e9es en bois et soigneusement orn\u00e9es, elles \u00e9taient associ\u00e9es \u00e0 la consommation du vin de palme et au rang de leurs propri\u00e9taires. Boire et offrir une boisson pouvaient avoir une dimension publique, o\u00f9 qualit\u00e9 du r\u00e9cipient, hospitalit\u00e9 et statut \u00e9taient reconnus ensemble. La coupe participait ainsi \u00e0 la vie c\u00e9r\u00e9monielle par un usage concret.<\/p>\n<p>Le r\u00e9pertoire comprend des r\u00e9cipients \u00e0 d\u00e9cor g\u00e9om\u00e9trique et des coupes dont le corps prend la forme d\u2019une t\u00eate ou int\u00e8gre des \u00e9l\u00e9ments figuratifs. Tout en pr\u00e9servant la capacit\u00e9 \u00e0 contenir la boisson, le sculpteur pouvait d\u00e9velopper le profil, la prise et la surface avec une grande invention. Le creusement int\u00e9rieur et le model\u00e9 ext\u00e9rieur exigeaient un contr\u00f4le coordonn\u00e9 du volume, de l\u2019\u00e9paisseur et de l\u2019\u00e9quilibre.<\/p>\n<p>Motifs r\u00e9p\u00e9t\u00e9s, incisions et reliefs organisent le d\u00e9cor en relation avec la forme. Dans les coupes anthropomorphes, traits du visage et coiffure raccordent l\u2019image humaine \u00e0 la fonction du r\u00e9cipient ; ailleurs, la succession des motifs g\u00e9om\u00e9triques cr\u00e9e un rythme continu. Ce soin de la surface appartient \u00e0 une culture artistique Kuba plus large, o\u00f9 objets, textiles et insignes expriment ornement et distinction sociale.<\/p>\n<p>Les traces de manipulation et l\u2019usure des bords contribuent \u00e0 l\u2019histoire mat\u00e9rielle de la coupe, avec la documentation de sa provenance. Un exemplaire peut \u00eatre appr\u00e9ci\u00e9 pour la qualit\u00e9 de sa taille et comme t\u00e9moignage des pratiques de consommation et de repr\u00e9sentation du rang. Le rapprochement avec masques et figures ancestrales rend sensible la diversit\u00e9 de la sculpture africaine : l\u2019\u00e9laboration artistique concerne aussi les objets qui accompagnent les gestes de la vie sociale et c\u00e9r\u00e9monielle.<\/p>\n<h3>Bibliographie et comparaisons<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Jan Vansina, <em>The Children of Woot<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>Joseph Cornet, <em>Art Royal Kuba<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/africa.si.edu\/pdf\/k-pre-k.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Smithsonian National Museum of African Art, The Art of the Kuba, ressources p\u00e9dagogiques<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<section class=\"dalton-related-insights\">\n<h3>Approfondissements associ\u00e9s<\/h3>\n<div class=\"dalton-fr-approfondissement-link-list\">\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 7px;line-height:1.45;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.daltonsomare.com\/fr\/approfondimenti-tematici\/societe-bwami-lega-masques-morale-initiation\/\">Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Bwami Lega : masques, morale et initiation<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 7px;line-height:1.45;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.daltonsomare.com\/fr\/approfondimenti-tematici\/statues-hemba-ancetres-lignage-monumentalite\/\">Statues Hemba : anc\u00eatres, lignage et monumentalit\u00e9<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 7px;line-height:1.45;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.daltonsomare.com\/fr\/approfondimenti-tematici\/sculpture-africaine-bois-matiere-patine-conservation\/\">Sculpture Africaine en bois : mati\u00e8re, patine et conservation<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Les coupes c\u00e9r\u00e9monielles Kuba de la R\u00e9publique d\u00e9mocratique du Congo r\u00e9v\u00e8lent le r\u00f4le des objets d\u2019usage dans l\u2019expression du prestige.
