Description

Deckelschale, "agere ifa"
Yoruba, Nigeria
Ohne Sockel / without base
Holz. H 36,5 cm.

Provenienz:
- Nachlass Ernesto Schmidt, Basel.
- Schweizer Privatsammlung, Zürich.

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.
