Item Details

Description

Schmuckreifen-Paar, "saworo"
Yoruba, Nigeria
Ohne Sockel / without base
Gelbguss. H 16 cm. B 20 cm.

Provenienz:
Carlo Monzino (1931-1996), Castagnola.

Reich verzierte Fuss- und Armreifen aus Kupferlegierungen gehörten zur Zeremonialausstattung von Herrschern, Priestern und oshugbo-Mitgliedern in Ijebu. Ausgrabungsergebnisse und Thermolumineszenz-Altersbestimmungen bestätigten, dass solche Armreifen schon vor dem 18. Jahrhundert hergestellt wurden.

Heute werden die Armreifen bisweilen auf Altären in privaten Schreinen als Devotionalien verehrt. Die Ikonographie des Dekors mit Menschen- und Tierköpfen ist bei weitem nicht klar, bezieht sich aber wahrscheinlich auf die lineage-Ahnen, als Bewohner der Erde und Beschützer der Lebenden.
