Yoruba Polychrome Maternity statue - Nigeria - African Art Tribal Art

Item Details

Description

Title: Yoruba Polychrome Maternity statue - Nigeria - African Art Tribal Art

Date/Period: Mid 20th century

Origin: Nigeria

Dimension: 26,77 Inch

Materials: Wood

Weight: 8,38 Pounds

Item type: Statue, figure, maternity

Description: This female tribal altar art sculpture features a well-preserved polychromy. Facilitating communication with the sacred, it reminds the deity of its duties to men. Through the child symbolizes the protection of her people and fertility. Wearing a high crest, she also wears the three deep keloids of the Yoruba nobles on each of the cheeks. The globular eyes, fleshy lips, are also distinctive markers of Yoruba tribal statuary. Her attire reflect her social rank.
The Yoruba engaged in the slave trade with the Europeans and in particular the Portuguese before being completely subsermissed to the English following a long period of infighting between the various kings or oba in place. The main Yoruba cults are the cults GÃ©lus, Epa, Ogboni, and the cult Esu, through which a very wide variety of deities are involved.

Note: Good, see pictures.
