Item Details

Description

Tanzstab, "ogo elegba"
Yoruba, Nigeria
Ohne Sockel / without base
Holz. H 55,5 cm.

Provenienz:
deutsche Sammlung

Kultstab aus dem Eshu Kult.

Eshu ist eine der vielen Gestalten der Yoruba Kosmologie, die in ihrer Komplexität durchaus mit der Götterwelt der Griechen verglichen werden kann. Er ist ein facettenreicher Charakter, der als Götterbote zwischen den Welten, (Himmel
und Erde, Diesseits und Jenseits) vermittelt. Aus diesem Grund ist er die zentrale, allgegenwärtige Figur der Ifa-Orakelbefragung.

Wo auch immer zwei Menschen, Gegenstände oder Angelegenheiten sich berühren, ist auch er - der ambivalente Schalksnarr, der Vergnügen an Gegensätzen und Unordnung zu haben scheint - im Grenzbereich zu finden. Weil er als Unruhestifter in der Lage ist, positive Kräfte zu durchkreuzen und somit den Menschen ihre Unzugänglichkeit gegenüber der göttlichen Macht zu demonstrieren, wird ihm in zahlreichen Altären gehuldigt.
