Schiff: Fußstützpunkt 13th Jahrhundert Tellemvölker die Tellemvölker sind vermutlich im elften Jahrhundert nach Christus am felsigen Bandiagara-Felsen im heutigen Süden Malis angekommen. Im 15. Bis 16. Jahrhundert wurde die Bevölkerung von Tellem verwüstet, Möglicherweise aufgrund einer Hungersnot, die durch Dürre oder Songhai- und Mossi-Sklavenrazzien verursacht wurde. Ihr kulturelles Erbe beeinflusste jedoch die Dogon, ein Volk, das ihnen nachfolgte und die Bandiagara bis heute bevölkert. Obwohl die Ursprünge der Dogon unklar bleiben, sind sie keine direkten Nachkommen der Tellem, die sich beschwichtigen

Vessel: Footed Base 13th century Tellem peoples The Tellem are believed to have arrived at the rocky Bandiagara Escarpment in present-day southern Mali sometime during the eleventh century A.D. By the fifteenth to sixteenth centuries, the Tellem population was devastated, possibly due to famine caused by drought or Songhai and Mossi slave raids. Their cultural legacy, however, profoundly influenced the Dogon, a people who succeeded them and continue to populate the Bandiagara to this day. Although the origins of the Dogon remain unclear, they are not direct descendents of the Tellem, who appear to have left no distinct ancestors. The name by which they are remembered, "Tellem, " is a Dogon word signifying "We found them."Three- and four-footed pottery bowls like this one have been found in caves directly below Tellem burial caves in the Bandiagara cliffs. Stylistically distinct from other forms of Tellem pottery, this type of bowl is believed to have been made specifically for funerary purposes. The brown and white specks on the base of this bowl, possibly from the sacrificial remains of funerary rites, may reflect this, although it is also possible that these are the result of more recent usage by the Dogon.The Tellem made bowls like this one by shaping clay over a convex mold, expanding the sides with coils of clay after the curved bottom was formed. Following the completion of the bowl shape, a three- or four-footed base was attached for support. Textured decoration, incised or impressed into the clay using fiber cord, completed the design.Footed pottery bowls were not unique to the Tellem, and their wide geographical distribution is a testament to the early intercultural trade and migration that linked diverse populations over vast distances in West Africa. The oldest examples of this pottery type date to the seventh century and were found in Niani, a former capital of the Mali empire located in modern-day Guinea. Footed bowls were dispersed throughout the ancien
