Such small figures are used for ... morepersonal protection and are often carried hidden. Hand carved from a single piece of wood. Height: 25 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 of 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.

Baule Medicine Vessel, Ivory Coast, African Tribal Arts, African Vessels
Item: Baule Medicine Vessel Specifications: 63 x 17 x 17 cm Origin: Ivory Coast(see ethnographical notes below) Context: Used to store concoctions of bush medicine. Medium: Timber Carving BAULE(BAOULE. BAWULE) Côte d'Ivoire The Baule people is one of the largest ethnic group in the Côte d'Ivoire. They have played a central role in twentieth-century history of the country. They waged the longest war of resistance to French colonization of any West African people. And maintained their traditional objects and beliefs longer than many groups in such constant contact with European administrators, traders, and missionaries. The Baule belong to the Akan peoples who inhabit Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire. According to a legend. During the eighteenth century, the queen, Abla Poku, had to lead her people west to the shores of the ... moreComoe, the land of Senufo. In order to cross the river, she sacrificed her own son. This sacrifice was the origin of the name Baule, for baouli means“the child has died. Now about one million Baule occupy a part of the eastern Côte d'Ivoire between the Komoé and Bandama rivers that is both forest and savanna land. Baule society was characterized by extreme individualism, great tolerance, a deep aversion toward rigid political structures, and a lack of age classes, initiation, circumcision, priests, secret societies, or associations with hierarchical levels. Each village was independent from the others and made its own decisions under the presiding presence of a council of elders. Everyone participated in discussions, including slaves. It was an egalitarian society. The Baule compact villages are divided into wards. Or quarters, and subdivided into family compounds of rectangular dwellings arranged around a courtyard; the compounds are usually aligned on either side of the main village street. The Baule are agriculturists; yams and maize are the staples, supplemented by fish and game; coffee, cocoa and kola nuts are major cash crops. The importance of the yam is de

Or placed on a stand(not included) Any input and/or information you can furnish me about this item would be greatly appreciated! The photos do not do justice to its ornate quality. The museum could not give me a value of this item, and being unique and old lets you MAKE ME AN OFFER I can't refuse! I found a couple of other newer type items on a website search that showed prices from $100-$900. A TRUE FIND! Worthy of display in the finest home, office, restaurant, etc! NICE! A portion of this sale will be automatically donated to the World Food Program as shown in the description. I purchased

OLD AFRICAN WOOD CARVING OF A GAZELLE - MARKED: "HANDCRAFTED PATRICE LUMUMBA"
THIS IS A RARE AND MAGNIFICENT ITEM. A GAZELLE OR ANTELOPE ON A BASE. ALL CARVED FROM A SINGLE PIECE OF WOOD. THE TYPE OF TIMBER IS UNKNOWN. WE EXPECT IT IS AN AFRICAN SPECIES. IT IS VERY HARD AND SMOOTH WITH A FINE GRAIN. THE MAKER SEEMS TO HAVE CHOSEN THIS PARTCIULAR PIECE OF TIMBER BECAUSE THE GRAIN FLOWS WITH THE LINES OF THE ANIMAL.SEE PICTURES. FROM APPEARANCES. WE WOULD ESTIMATE THIS TO HAVE BEEN CARVED SOMTIME AROUND THE 1940's OR 1950's. BUT THAT IS JUST OUR BEST GUESS. WE HAVE OWNED THIS CARVING FOR FIVE YEARS AND DO NOT KNOW IT'S HISTORY. IT IS BEAUTIFUL TO TOUCH AND HAS A LOVELY"PATINA OF AGE" THE BRASS BASE PLATE LOOKS ORIGINAL AND IS ENGRAVED WITH THE WORDS: HANDCRAFTED PATRICE LUMUMBA. IN RESEARCHING THE MAKER WE FOUND REFERENCE TO ONLY ONE MAN WITH THIS NAME. THE PATRICE EMERY LUMUMBA WE FOUND ON GOOGLE ... moreWAS AN AMAZING HERO OF AFRICA. BEFORE MANDELA. LUMUMBA WAS AN INSPIRATION TO ALL WHO STRUGGLED FOR FREEDOM. CHE GUEVARA CALLED HIM"THE MOST IMPORTANT MAN TO STAND ON AFRICAN SOIL. THERE ARE CURRENCY AND STAMP ISSUES DEDICATED TO HIM FROM MANY COUNTRIES.AND A UNIVERSITY IN RUSSIA NAMED AFTER HIM.AND MANY, MANY OTHER TRIBUTES. PATRICE EMERY LUMUMBA(2ND JULY 1925- 11TH FEBRUARY 1961) SPOKE OUT AND STOOD UP FOR THE FREEDOM OF HIS COUNTRY AND OF HIS PEOPLE. BECOMING THE FIRST DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED PRESIDENT OF THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO. A BRILLIANT AND CHARISMATIC LEADER. WHO WAS CRUELLY ASSINATED BY COLONIAL FORCES IN 1961. WE TRIED TO FIND OUT IF THIS MAN MAY HAVE CARVED OUR LITTLE GAZELLE. BUT WITH NO SUCCESS. WE DID EMAIL AN AMERICAN SCHOLAR WHO WAS FAMILIAR WITH PATRICE LUMUMBA IN 1960-61 AND THEY SAID HE DID NOT CARVE AND WOULD NOT HAVE ENGRAVED THE PIECE IN THIS WAY. WE WONDERED IF HE MAY HAVE CARVED THIS AS A YOUNGER MAN.DURING ONE OF THE TIMES THE COLONIAL GOVERNMENT IMPRISONED HIM? MAYBE SOMEONE WHO KNEW HIM AT THAT TIME MAY HAVE MOUNTED THIS CARVING IN THE BRASS BASE with the engraved words.BECAUSE IT ALL LOOK OF THE SAME AGE? WE D

Baule Mblo Costume Mask, Ivory Coast , African Tribal Arts, African Masks
Item: Baule Mblo Costume Mask Specifications: 36 x 24 x 12 cm Origin: Ivory Coast(see ethnographical notes below) Context: Used in skits and solo dances. Medium: Timber Carving BAULE(BAOULE. BAWULE) Côte d'Ivoire The Baule people is one of the largest ethnic group in the Côte d'Ivoire. They have played a central role in twentieth-century history of the country. They waged the longest war of resistance to French colonization of any West African people. And maintained their traditional objects and beliefs longer than many groups in such constant contact with European administrators, traders, and missionaries. The Baule belong to the Akan peoples who inhabit Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire. According to a legend. During the eighteenth century, the queen, Abla Poku, had to lead her people west to the shores of the Comoe, the ... moreland of Senufo. In order to cross the river, she sacrificed her own son. This sacrifice was the origin of the name Baule, for baouli means“the child has died. Now about one million Baule occupy a part of the eastern Côte d'Ivoire between the Komoé and Bandama rivers that is both forest and savanna land. Baule society was characterized by extreme individualism, great tolerance, a deep aversion toward rigid political structures, and a lack of age classes, initiation, circumcision, priests, secret societies, or associations with hierarchical levels. Each village was independent from the others and made its own decisions under the presiding presence of a council of elders. Everyone participated in discussions, including slaves. It was an egalitarian society. The Baule compact villages are divided into wards. Or quarters, and subdivided into family compounds of rectangular dwellings arranged around a courtyard; the compounds are usually aligned on either side of the main village street. The Baule are agriculturists; yams and maize are the staples, supplemented by fish and game; coffee, cocoa and kola nuts are major cash crops. The importance of the yam is demonstrated

RARE Antique African Bronze Oil Fertility Figure Oil Burner Yoruba Africa 19 C
RARE Antique African Bronze Oil Fertility Figure Oil Burner Yoruba Africa 19 C RARE Antique African Bronze Oil Fertility Figure Oil Burner Yoruba Africa 19 C Please look to Sotheby's Catalogues. Miller's& Carter's price guides for similar This impressive Lost Wax sculptural vessel was made by the Yoruba group of Nigeria. The Yoruba peoples of Nigeria have what is probably the longest extant artistic tradition in Africa. The nation state is comprised of numerous subsections that were joined historically by the rise and collapse of the Ife(12th to 15th centuries) and Benin(13th to 19th centuries) polities. Each of the sub-kingdoms– including Oyo. Ijebu and smaller units towards the west– had their heyday, and are loosely united through language and culture, although they still retain a measure of independence in terms of their ... moreartistic traditions. The Yoruba are sedentary. Agriculturist and hierarchical, and are ruled by hereditary kings known as Obas. Access to the supernatural world is supervised by a very complex arrangement of priests and spiritual intermediaries, who straddle the cosmological border between the tangible realm of the living(aye) and the invisible realm of the spirits and the hereafter(orun) The creator of the world is Olodumare– the source of all ase(life force) and his spiritual minions include all manner of spirits, gods and ancestors who can be appealed to or appeased through human intermediaries. Most Yoruban artistic heritage is designed to thwart evil spirits, and to placate or honour those that bring good fortune to the populace. Without contextual information. The function of this item is uncertain. Given its dimensions, it is likely to have occupied a ritual role, This is an impressive piece of African art.

Baule Grainary Vessel Door Ivory Coast, African Tribal Arts

Medium: Timber Carving BAULE(BAOULE. BAWULE) Côte d'Ivoire The Baule people is one of the largest ethnic group in the Côte d'Ivoire. They have played a central role in twentieth-century history of the country. They waged the longest war of resistance to French colonization of any West African people. And maintained their traditional objects and beliefs longer than many groups in such constant contact with European administrators, traders, and missionaries. The Baule belong to the Akan peoples who inhabit Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire. According to a legend. During the eighteenth century, the queen, Abla Poku, had to lead her people west to the shores of ... morethe Comoe, the land of Senufo. In order to cross the river, she sacrificed her own son. This sacrifice was the origin of the name Baule, for baouli means“the child has died. Now about one million Baule occupy a part of the eastern Côte d'Ivoire between the Komoé and Bandama rivers that is both forest and savanna land. Baule society was characterized by extreme individualism, great tolerance, a deep aversion toward rigid political structures, and a lack of age classes, initiation, circumcision, priests, secret societies, or associations with hierarchical levels. Each village was independent from the others and made its own decisions under the presiding presence of a council of elders. Everyone participated in discussions, including slaves. It was an egalitarian society. The Baule compact villages are divided into wards. Or quarters, and subdivided into family compounds of rectangular dwellings arranged around a courtyard; the compounds are usually aligned on either side of the main village street. The Baule are agriculturists; yams and maize are the staples, supplemented by fish and game; coffee, cocoa and kola nuts are major cash crops. The importance of the yam is

Babanki Ngrion Mask, Cameroon Grasslands, African Tribal Arts, African Masks
Item: Babanki Ngion Mask Size 52 x 14.5 x 14 cm Region: Cameroon Grasslands(see ethnographic notes below) Medium: Carved Wood and Reed Work. Context: Babanki Masks are used in initiation and for education purpose. The Babanki Tribe of the Cameroon Grasslands History The Babanki are part of a larger cultural area known collectively as the Western Cameroon Grasslands and live in the northern part of Northwest Province. They originally came from an area to the north and migrated in various complex patterns throughout the last several centuries. Fulani traders moving steadily southwards into Cameroon in the 17th century forced the Babanki's southern drift. Many smaller ethnic groups combined. While other factions split away as a result of pressure from the invading Fulani. During the late 18th century many Fulani converted to Islam and their ... moreexpansionist policies grew as a result of religious zeal. They successfully converted many Babanki to Islam. Economy The region is astride important regional trade routes connecting with the seaport of Douala in the south and with Fulani and Hausa traders in the north. The Babanki are historically farmers who grow maize. Yams, and peanuts as staple crops. They also raise some livestock, including chickens and goats, which play an important role in daily sustenance. Women, who are believed to make the soil more fruitful, are responsible for the tasks of planting and harvesting the crops. Men are responsible for clearing the fields for planting and practice some nominal hunting. Political Systems The Babanki. Like all of the peoples who make up the Cameroon Grasslands culture area, pay allegiance to the head chief(Fon) Each village is governed by a leader who is selected by his predecessor and who is usually the head of the dominant lineage within that community. Each Fon is served by a council of elders who advise him on all important decisions and who also play an important role in the selection of the next Fon. Most chiefs serve for a lifetime, abdicating the throne or st
