title: A completed house in Bamum.
title: Fertiges Haus in Bamum.

description: Note: "Haus (bau) fertig. Wie schön steht das fertige Haus des vornehmen Bamummannes da. Wie regelmässig ist an der untern Dachkante das lange Gras beschnitten, und wie kunstvoll ist das Fries, das zwischen den Hauswänden und dem Dach schmückend rings ums ganze Haus läuft. Dies Fries wird aus Grasbüscheln hergestellt und zwar sehr einfach. Die schwarzen Figuren meistens Tierbilder, sind angesengte Grasbüschel, die, schon während des Brennens schnell in ein Gefäss mit Wasser getaucht, die schwarze Farbe beibehalten. Rings um unser Haus herum läuft eine kleine wohnliche Veranda, nur aus Palmrippen hergestellt. Das ist der Ort, wo sich die Bewohner des Hauses während der Regenzeit oder über die grösste Mittagshitze gerne aufhalten. Da ist es trocken und kühl und vor allem heller als drinnen in der rauchgeschwärzten Hütte, die auch vom Eingeborenen nur dann aufgesucht wird, wenn er sein frugales Mahl zubereitet oder verzehrt, und wenn die Nacht um das weite Land ihren schwarzen Mantel schlägt." (Wuhrmann, A., 1917. Beschreibung zu den Lichtbildern aus Bamum. E-30-0,6).; Note translation: "The completed house of a noble Bamum gentleman looks beautiful.  See how straight the grass of the thatch has been cut on the bottom edge of the roof.  Look how artistic the frieze is between the walls and the roof, and which runs all the way round the house.  This frieze is made very simply from bundles of grass. The dark figures, mostly pictures of animals, are made of singed bundles of grass which were quickly dipped in a bucket of water once they began to burn, and which then retain their blackness. Round this house runs a small, comfortable-looking verandah, built simply of the ribs from the palm tree.  The people who live in the house like sitting there in the rainy season, or during the great heat in the middle of the day. It is dry there and cool and above all there is more light than inside the house, with its smoke-blackened walls. Indigenous people only use the inside of the house to prepare or eat their frugal meals, and when the night spreads its black robe over the land."  (A. Wuhrmann, "Commentaries on Slides from Bamum", 1917, E-30-0,6,  K 382). - A house for men or rather a husband (PV 02.2002).

title: Woman grinding maize - wife of Nzi Ntiese, the Inspector of Horses.
title: Frau von Nzi Ntiese (Pferde Inspector) Mais mahlend.

description: Note: "Kg. Ndj Bruders Frau Fumbane Mais mahlend. Nzi Ntiese, der Pferdeinspektor, besitzt ein stattliches Gehöfte und verdankt der Gunst seines königlichen Bruders eine Anzahl schöner gesunder Frauen. Diese bewältigen mit Leichtigkeit alle häuslichen Arbeiten, die ihnen obliegen. Das Besorgen der Kinder macht nicht viel Mühe und die kulinarischen Kentnisse der Bamumfrauen sind recht primitiv. Holz und Wasser tragen sind schon schwere Arbeiten und das Maismahlen macht recht müde. Die tägliche Mahlzeit unserer Leute besteht aus einem dicken Maisbrei, der wohl an Stelle unseres Brotes gegessen wird. Die Maiskörner werden einwenig geröstet, damit sie spröde sind und sich leichter mahlen lassen. Mit geschickten Händen handhabt die Bamumfrau den kleinen Stein und lasst ihn rasch und rollend über die Körnlein fahren, die auf dem grossen Stein liegen und schnell zu feinem Mehl gemahlen werden, Man misst in Bamum dieser Arbeit grosse Bedeutung bei, müssen doch die königlichen Bräute, bevor der Häuptling ihnen erlaubt, sein Haus zu betreten, 3 Jahre lang täglich im königlichen Mahlhaus Mais mahlen. [ganzer Satz unterstrichen] Und, das muss man den Bamumfrauen lassen, sie mahlen ihren Mais wunderbar fein und lassen ihn oft durch 7 feingeflochtene Körbe laufen, bis er unserem Mehl an Feinheit nichts nachgiebt." (Wuhrmann, A., 1917. Beschreibung zu den Lichtbildern aus Bamum. E-30-0,6).; Note translation:   Fumbane, a wife of one K[in]G Nj[oya s] brothers, grinding maize.  Nzi Ntiese, the Inspector of Horses, has an impressive compound and, thanks to the favour of his royal brother, has a number of beautiful and healthy wives. These easily handle all the domestic tasks which fall to them. Looking after the children does not take much effort, and the culinary knowledge of our Bamum women is fairly primitive. [It is true that] carrying wood and water is hard work, and grinding maize makes you really tired. The daily food of our people consists of a maize porridge which acts as the equivalent of our bread. The grains of maize are lightly roasted to make them easy to break open and grind. The Bamum woman has skilled hands when it comes to using the little stone, pushing it backwards and forwards over the maize, and quickly grinding it to fine flour. In Bamum people pay a lot of attention to this particular work, and the royal brides have to practice grinding maize flour for three years before they are  allowed into the King s house. And one has to admit that the Bamum women grind their maize into a beautifully fine flour, and sieve it often through seven fine baskets, until it is no coarser than our flour.  (A. Wuhrmann, 1917,  "Commentaries on Slides from Bamum",  K.328).

description: Note: "Flussübergang. Viele Wasserläufe durchziehen die meist engen Täler der alten Königsstadt Fumban. In der Trockenzeit sind es meist recht seichte und wenig tiefe Bächlein, aber in der Regenzeit schwellen sie gewaltig an und treten verheerend über die sandigen Ufer. Die Ufer der Bäche und Bächlein sind an manchen Orten von rauschenden Palmen bestanden deren hohe Schäfte schlank zum blauen Himmel empor streben, oder die schaftlose Raphipalme verbirgt unter buschigem Blattwerk den Lauf des Wassers. Diese Raphipalme ist eine Pflanze von grosser Nützlichkeit; nicht nur birgt ihr Inneres in Menge den süssen und über alles geliebten Palmwein, sondern ihre lange, schlanke Blattrippe lässt sich zur Herstellung aller möglichen Gegenstände prächtig verwenden und ist sogar für den Hausbau das unentbehrlichste Material. Die Rinde der noch grünen Palmrippe wird abgeschält und als 'Band' verwendet, die Rippe selbst bildet, kunstvoll geflechtet und gefügt, das Skelett der hübschen Negerhütte." (Wuhrmann, A., 1917. Beschreibung zu den Lichtbildern aus Bamum. E-30-0,6).; Note translation: "Many streams  run down the narrow valleys in the old royal town of Fumban. In the dry season they are mostly stagnant and shallow but in the rainy season they swell up  and overflow their banks and cause a lot of destruction. On the banks of the streams you often find whispering palms whose high slender trunks strive to reach the blue sky above. Or the trunk-less raphia palm hides the water-course behind its thicket of leaves. The Raphia Palm is a very useful plant. People tap from it the much-loved palm wine in large quantities. The ribs of its leaves can be used to make all sorts of things,.and are absolutely essential for building houses. The bark of the ribs can be taken off while it is still green and used as a band [to tie things, I suppose - P.J.]  The rib itself forms the skeleton of the pretty houses Africans build here."  (A. Wuhrmann, 1917,  "Commentaries on Slides from Bamum",  K.379).
