20th C. African Igbo Painted Wood Divination Plaque

Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $150**

West Africa, Nigeria, Igbo people, ca. early to mid 20th century CE. A large divination plaque, hand-carved from a single piece of lightweight wood covered in a creamy white paint. The body is flat with curved sides and a forked bottom portion, and an abstract, emerald-green head with a lobed top rests in the center. The border where the face meets the backing as well as the bottom of the top section displays several small perforations. The body, while covered in a thick layer of earthen material, has a lovely series of incised diagonal striations that add to its appeal. Size: 10.75" H (27.3 cm).

Provenance: ex-Nick Poolos collection, Adeon Gallery, Chicago, Illinois, USA acquired before 1970
