Türflügel, "ilekun"
Yoruba, Nigeria
Ohne Sockel (without base)
Holz. H 138 cm. B 64 cm.

Provenienz:
Galerie Walu, Basel.

Zierelemente an Palästen, Schreinen und Grabstätten unterstreichen den sozialen Status von Besitzern und Kulten. Sie finden sich in jedem Winkel des Yoruba-Landes.

Auf Türen geschnitzte Reliefdarstellungen von Menschen, Tieren und Kultsymbolen sind meistens in mehreren horizontalen Flächen angeordnet. Manchmal sind die Bilder in einer freieren Komposition angeordnet und durch abstrakte Dekors unterteilt, wie wir sie zum Beispiel bei einigen Türen aus Erin und Ikare sehen. Verschiedene Bilder auf einem einzigen Yoruba-Objekt wie einer Tür oder einem Orakelbrett erzählen nie eine Geschichte. Sie müssen als eine Reihe unabhängiger Symbole interpretiert werden.

Diese Serienkomposition lässt sich exzellent anhand einer Studie von Palasttüren aus der Opin-Region (einschliesslich der Dörfer Osi Ilorin, Ikerin und Isare) im nördlichen Ekiti demonstrieren. In diesem Gebiet lebten berühmte Meister wie Oshamuko, Areogun und andere, die häufig hervorragend ausgebildete Schüler hatten. Sie schnitzten Türen für Könige, Häuptlinge, ogboni-Häuser und -Schreine und verwendeten dabei alle ein bestimmtes Repertoire aus unabhängigen Szenen, die auf horizontalen, übereinander angeordneten Flächen dargestellt und mit abstrakten Dekors umrahmt sind.
