The arts of the Yoruba are as numerous as their deities. And many objects are placed on shrines to honor the gods and the ancestors. The present example is an exceptional mid 20th century work that was field collected in Benin(the Yoruba live in both South West Nigeria, Benin, Togo and other coast areas) Some of the most elaborate court art in Africa comes from the country of Benin(once called Dahomey) home of the Fon kingdom, and from western Nigeria, home of the Yoruba and Edo kingdoms. Benin City, in Nigeria, is the capital of the Edo-speaking people. The art of the Fon kingdom incorporates animal imagery, symbolically associated with royalty and with proverbs that reinforce moral laws and the power of rulers. Since the seventeenth century, Yoruba-speaking peoples have been organized in a series of kingdoms. Much Yoruba art is made in association with deities known as orisha, each associated with particular iconography. The subject sculpture displays native repairs to the base, back, and sides of face. Good condition with natural wear, age cracks(all stable) erosion on the crest, and significant wood compaction on the underside of the base. Scarifications along the face and body. Appropriate of age, origin and medium. Please note this remarkable Yoruba figure was acquired by Robert Kirincich from Dr. Neil Justin. Ph.D. in 2008. Dr. Justin is a retired anthropologist and film maker whom has led over 23 safaris throughout Africa.

ANTIQUE LEATHER COVERED MOSSI TRIBAL DOLL WITH COWRIES, FROM BURKINA FASO
Mossi dolls are educational toys used to train little girls for their ultimate and important roles as mothers. In addition to their use as toys. Mossi dolls serve also as fertility aids to newly married young women; a bride takes along her doll when she moves to her husband's residence. The dolls serve two important roles in regard to this function. The first permits the child’s soul to enter the world of the their parents, thus inducing pregnancy. The second assures that the child does not die and return to the world of the ancestral spirits, but will remain with their mother and clan, thus assuring a healthy life. Should conception result from sacrifices made to the spirits, the mother will continue to nurture the doll just as she does her real child. Once a figure fulfills its purpose, it may be kept as an heirloom or given to the ... morechild that it helped bring into the world. The unique sculptural form of the Mossi doll encompasses both the symbols of youth and womanhood, ushering a small girl in to womanhood and a young woman into motherhood. It is possible to attribute many Mossi dolls to specific geographical origins on the basis of carving styles. The shape of the doll's head being the determinant characteristic. The style that is collected most frequently originates in the village of Ziniaré, northeast of Ouagadougou. The head is a semicircular disc, without facial features, and with a smaller half disc on each side forming the hairstyle. The neck is short and the torso is a simple cylinder mounted on a low pedestal or flaring base. Large numbers of these dolls were sold every day in the Ouagadougou market in 1976-77, but by 1983-5 they had disappeared.

When the carving of the Ere Ibeji is completed. The artist is given a feast and payment as determined by the Orishas. Once the figure is brought to the family dwelling, it is placed on a shrine dedicated to Elegba with the hope that the Orisha or soul, which was split in two parts when the twins were born, will now again reside in the figure that represents the dead twin. The sculpted figure is treated and cared for as if it were alive. It is rubbed in sacramental oil, washed, fed, clothed, sung to and prayed to. It is kept standing during the day, and is laid down at night. Often it will be dressed in the same clothing as the living twin, or be decorated ... morein a beaded vest or shown with raised sandals, indicating possible royal connections. The responsibility of caring for the ibeji is borne by the mother and female family members of subsequent generations. The sculpture is expected to avert evil from the household, strengthen the manifestations of family love, stare down death, illuminate the pathway through the valley of immortality, and bring good fortune to all who treat it with respect and offer it tokens of affection. Conversely, bad fortune and curses may be engendered if the ibeji is ignored. NICE PATINA Bid with confidence. No reserves! P lease see my other auctions for great deals.

The 400.000 Dogon live 180 miles south of Timbuktu on the cliffs of Bandiagara, which dominate the plains for over 150 miles.

And have been treasured by several owners. Please look carefully at the pictures which may also reveal condition and damage. Additional Information: An interesting Ewe Vodun(or Voodoo) fetish in the form of a small figure which body is wrapped with encrusted materials. There is a magical device(probably a weapon) inserted in the belly. Though"vodun" art is better known among the Fon of Benin. It was actually the Ewe who are thought to have practiced the religion first. ... moreSuch power object, with its haunting face appearing to weep from libations, was used for diverting the meddling effects of witches. It appears to have been used for protection, probably kept on a small shrine which can even today be found in many households in Togo. The carving itself had no meaning whatsoever when it was created, and was possibly bought at a local market from a known carver. Depending on why the carving was purchased, the owner would then consult with a diviner, who would ask the owner to procure certain materials, which would in turn be used by the diviner to"energize" the object. In the case of this figure, the magical materials are covered and bound to the body. Usually, the contents could be almost anything, from fingernails to plants to animal parts. A rather long and elaborate ceremony was necessary, during which there would be chanting, music or dancing, and the ritualistic attachment of the materials to the figure. Trance dances would be performed by the diviners in from the Vodun figures like this. Instructions would be given to the owner on how to honor and care for the figure, and these could not be ignored or the magic of the piece coul

Large age cracks, chips, worn areas, overall condition fair to good. Thank you and please view my other items. BACKGROUND The ... moreDogon people live on a large plateau. With most of the villages situated on cliffs to the north and the east. According to Dogon oral tradition, the tribe settled in this area between the 14th and the 15th centuries, after escaping from the Mande kingdom. Legend has it that a snake led them to the cliff at the southern end of the plateau, where they overwhelmed and usurped the local Tellem and Niongom populations. The Dogon livelihood is based on agriculture concentrated in fields at the edge of the cliff, where water is scarce, but enough for occasional irrigation. Dogon social and religious organizations are closely interlinked and out of these arose four principal cults which accounts for the richness and diversity of Dogon culture. Dogon art is extremely versatile, although common stylistic characteristics- such as a tendency towards stylization- are apparent on the statues. Dogon figures are predominantly associated with the ancestor cult. They are carved either for personal or family use or, if they commemorate the foundation of a community, are worshipped by the village. The artistic influence of Niongom and Tellem traditions on Dogon statues is apparent. The Niongo

African/Congo Nkisi Nkondi (Nail Figure),ca 1880 - 1920
I am offering for sale an unusual African/Congo wooden Nkisi Nkondi or nail figure with glass eyes and a glass mid-section. Nail figures were constructed from the wood of sacred trees and were created to have a menacing appearance in order to protect the village. It measures 15” tall x 8” wide x 6” deep. The wood has a crack along the left side ofthe base just by the foot and there are chips here and there. However. None of these appear to compromise its stability. This is an old work of art, ca 1880 to 1920, that has endured the test of time and simply shows wear commensurate with its age.

Being sold as is, no returns on this item. I purchased this from a friend whose husband worked for the World Bank. They spent several years in Africa. I cannot recollect the country. She put varnish on this piece because she displayed it in her home in Africa. I would guess that the wood is either mahogany or teak. The wood is dense and heavy. Originally I called it a mask but it has no holes for the eyes. I have other items that I purchased from her and they will be listed on Ebay in the near future. Any questions. Please email us at my ebay. Please click on sellers other auctions on our ebay store.

The Congo Collection: Power Figure - Bakongo Nkisi Nkondi Fetish - Tribal Zaire
This is a very nice Bakongo Fetish which I picked up in the D.R.C. in 2009 whilst in the Katanga Province. He is an imposing little character who stands at approximately 14 inches in height. His mouth is pulled open in a fearsome fashion. His body is bound by a rope and he carries a very large terrestrial snail shell on his back. There is a wicker-weaving bound to his back and nail pierces his left upper back, in the vicinity of where the shoulder blade would be. He is also adorned with a woven head-dress. Stuffed with the feathers of a Red Rooster or Red Hen. This fetish has its own special energy and is not a new piece. I am estimating the age of this piece to be between 30 and 40 years. Note in the picture that a portion of the base is missing due to some very old insect damage. The rope which binds his torso is hiding a stomach cavity ... morewhich is utilized for placing herbs and magical material. This piece is also perfect for adherents of Santeria. Candomble, Regla de Ocha, Lukumi, Palo and Vou Dou, as it may be utilized as Echu(Eshu or Echu) the door opener of the Orishas. Adressing your salutations to this powerful little mage will be sure to quickly open the camino for your principal Orisha or Loa(Lwa) Standard Shipping w/in continental US for a $20 Flat Rate. International Purchasers or those requiring a quick delivery should contact me for best rate. Transit time and shipping method. Rates are dependent on buyers location and requested transit time.

Title, Yoruba Dance Wand Or Staff-Kneeling Figure Eshu on Top African Type of Object, staff. Dance wand, Country of Origin, Nigeria, People, Yoruba, Materials, Wood. Blue indigo pigment Approximate Age, second half 20th century, Dimensions, 17 inches H. Overall Condition, Good, Additional Information: A Yoruba staff decorated with a kneeling figure carrying rattle in each hand. And wearing a long chignon which identified with Eshu deity. Such staffs were used as dance wand during a ceremony dedicated to Eshu. This kneeling pose is a Yoruba position of offering and submission and a traditional representation of a typical religious devotee found on many shrines among the Yoruba of central and southern Nigeria. However. The large braid reaching over her back takes this figure to another level of symbolic representation. This figure is in fact ... moreEshu(Esu) A Yoruba male deity who is sometimes depicted as a female.This dualism is a reflection of Eshuâs ability to transcend normal human boundaries and to reflect the dynamic need of both sexes for procreation and life. Also known as Elegba. Eshu is the deity of the crossroads, one who confuses us or directs us to avoid dangers.He is the Yoruba deity who carries messages and offerings to the gods and is best known as the trickster god of their pantheon. Eshu(Esu) manipulates creative energies. Communicates with the gods, and embraces secret knowledge. Eshu can become invisible, appear in an instant, and mystify us by her actions or appearance. Elegba(Eshu) is known through a number of symbolic motifs-however the long hunterâs braid reflects the power and potency that Yoruba ascribe to long hair. 71816* All content.

Congo: Tribal used Very rare African Suku Monkey mask.
Large Old and Rare Tribal us. Tribal used Very rare African Suku Monkey mask. Congo. This type of mask is used in context of divination. To repel illness, witchcraft and other evil. Hand carved from a single piece of wood. With color pigments. Height: 29 cm. ed African mask from Igbo. Nigeria. Hand carved from a single piece of wood. With color pigments. Height: 64 cm. Living mainly in the forested areas of south-west Nigeria. On both sides of the Niger River the Igbo number some ten million individuals. Mainly farmers and merchants, they also hunt and fish. They are subdivided into thirty-three subgroups and are spread out among about two hundred villages scattered through the thick forest or semifertile marshland. Only on the northern and western edges of the area, under influence from Igala and Benin, are hereditary rulers found. The heads ... moreof families form the council of elders, which shares its power with numerous secret societies. These societies exercise great political and social influence. They are highly hierarchical, their members passing from one level to the next. There is strong social pressure toward individual distinction, and men can move upward through successive grades by demonstrating their achievements and their generosity. The lack of overall centralization among the Igbo-speaking peoples has been conducive to the development of a great variety of art styles and cultural practices. The earliest sculpture known from Igboland is from the village of Ibo Ukwu. Where the grave of a man of distinction and a ritual store, dating from the 9th century AD, contained both chased copper objects and elaborate castings of leaded bronze. Ibo sculpture is subject to rather strict rules: the figures are generally frontal, symmetrical, and upright, with legs slightly spread, arms held away from the body, and hands stretched forward, palms open.
