Le bracelet de Taga

Elric Geraudie

Abstrak

Collected in 1904, during a colonial criminal case, Taga’s bracelet, a wooden piece from northern Vanuatu, became part of Louis Joseph Bouge’s collection, adding to its owner’s prestige. In this context, it seems to have been part of an exchange of gifts on the occasion of the erudite collector’s marriage to Emma Quille. Much later, the bracelet returned to the collection of its first owner, then was bequeathed by Louis Joseph Bouge’s widow to the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Chartres. When the object’s journey is examined from a biographical angle, a succession of social roles emerges, raising questions about the singularisation of objects, their agency as “trophies” and their place among non-agonistic gifts.
