KHENIS GOSTH EATERS FIGURE
IN KAGBENI VILLAGE, NEPAL.
Kagbeni is a fortified two gates medioeval village located in a strategic place at the cofluence of two river valleys, situated in a fertile area.
During the 19th century the human guards of the gates become superfluous and were replaced with two human figure moulded from clay each named KHENIS or Ghost Eaters, primitive iconographic subjects probably remanants of the ancient BON religion.

Allora come oggi scarsamente recensite, le arti tradizionali della vasta area himalayana sono latrici di un variegato , ricchissimo e originale repertorio iconografico, frutto della sincretica fusione di stilemi classici e popolari.
Ogni oggetto sembra essere in tal senso latore di una memoria ancestrale che di volta in volta memorizza, interpreta e rielabora dettagli stilistici dal carattere spesso antinomico, così da risultare, anche all’osservatore più attento, autentici ‘rebus’ figurativi, nei quali la presenza di simbologie archetipicihe universali non è infrequente.
Queste considerazioni non sono però del tutto valide per la statuaria arcaico-animistica dell’Ovest Nepal.
Queste sculture costituiscono la vitale , universale e cristallizzata archetipica testimonianza di culti e credenze popolari che affondano le proprie radici in un remoto passato ormai da noi dimenticato ma certamente, un tempo, comune al sentire di tutti gli uomini.
Sono antecedenti alla differenziazione ed evoluzione degli stili ‘locali’, sono opposte alla cd arte tribale, qualcosa che attiene ad una specifica e locale geolocalizzazione temporale di stili ed iconografie.
Impermeabili alle influenze ‘stilistiche’ delle religioni major della regione, queste figure riassumono in sè un ricco ed unico repertorio di credenze sempre più prossimo al collasso.
Uno scientifico e sistematico field work è oggi disperatamente urgente.
Nell’attesa Ethnoflorence ha intrapreso una mappatura dell’area ed uno studio iconografico-comparativo dei manufatti

THE ANCIENT ARCHETIPYC ICONOGRAPHY OF THE RITUAL WEAPONS AND ANTHROPOMORPHIC FIGURES FROM UTTAR PRADESH.
Photo Ethnoflorence
Anthropomorphic figures, harpoons, ax blades (celts) and anntennae swords were cast and hammered from unalloyed copper.
They may be dated 1500 to 1000 bc.
Given that pure copper is a relatively soft metal and most of the objects ahow little or no signs of wear, it seems likely that their function was largely dedicatory.
Hoards of such objects have been found across north India, the greatest concentration being in Uttar Pradesh.
The findspots suggest they were ritually deposited in rivers or marshes, though several related antennae swords were recovered in late Indus Valley civilization (ca. 1500 b.c.) burials at Sanauli.
