Item Details

Description

Figur, "edjo-re-akare"
Urhobo, Nigeria
Gesockelt / with custom base
Holz. H 190 cm.

Provenienz:
Nachlass René David (1928-2015), Zürich.

Ausgestellt:
Musée International du Golfe de Guinée, Togo (2005-2011).

Das religiöse Weltbild der Urhobo konzentrierte sich auf die Verehrung von spirituellen, in der Natur wirkenden Kräften. Sie pflegten einen persönlichen Schrein, der nebst anderen Kraftobjekten auch verschiedene aus Holz geschnitzte Figuren beherbergte.

edjo-re-akare-Figuren sind personifizierte Geistwesen (edjo = spirituelle, in der Natur wirkende Kräfte, re-akare = aus Holz). Ganze "Familien" dieser Art wurden mit den Siedlungsgründern in Verbindung gebracht und an wenigen Tagen im Jahr öffentlich verehrt.

Mit diesen und mit Hilfe der aufgerufenen Ahnen wurde versucht, das eigene Schicksal günstig zu beeinflussen, damit einem Gesundheit, Reichtum und Glück vergönnt waren.
