Orakelschale, "agere ifa"
Yoruba, Nigeria
Holz. H 27,5 cm. Ø 20,5 cm.

Provenienz:
- Sotheby's London, 1987, Lot 198.
- Galerie Walu, Zürich.
- Sammlung Carnes, Solothurn (1993).

Ausgestellt:
Museum der Völker, Schwaz. Sonderausstellung Yoruba - Meisterwerke einer Afrikanischen Hochkultur (07.05-25.10.2016).

agere-ifa genannte Schalen werden im allgemeinen als priesterliche Kultgefässe für Palmkerne verwendet, die bei der Orakelbefragung unabdinglich sind.

Am Hof werden Schalen auch als Prestige-Behälter benutzt um daraus Besuchern Kolanüsse anzubieten oder um auf einem Schrein stehend Opfergaben für Gottheiten aufzunehmen.

Die eigentliche Schale der Skulptur wird immer von variantenreichen figürlichen Szenerien aus der Mythologie der Yoruba getragen. Die dargestellten Figuren sollten die Feierlichkeiten der Opferhandlung sowie bestimmte Anliegen der Besitzer verdeutlichen.
