Cote d'Ivoire, People, ... moreDan, Materials, Wood. Pigment, nails, vegetal fibers, Approximate Age, Second half twentieth century, Dimensions, 20.75 inches x 5.25 inches Overall Condition, Good, Damage/Repair, crack with repair in one foot. Chips in places, Additional Information: An example of a utilitarian piece taken to the level of art. This is a well-carved spoon with a worn patina. The handle in the form of a female body demonstrates the creativity of the Dan people where this spoon comes from. The Dan are an enormous culture. Spread out over several countries. They continue to produce exemplary art objects even today, from the smallest brass castings to huge hornbill statues standing six feet or more. The Dan are perhaps the most documented of all West African groups, and information and examples of their many art forms can be found in almost all books on West African art. Spoons in the shape of female figures were awarded to women known as wunkirile who had been judged by their peers and elders of their village to be the most generous and hospitable to others of their village quarter. Spoon shaped carvings such as this are best described as feast ladles used by their owner to offer food to others during public feasts. Known as'wunkirmian' this spoon shaped figure incorporates body markings identifying their owner as a woman of the Dan people. The hairstyle and facial markings portray a woman at the height of her beauty and maturity. The personification of positive attributes of women among the Dan people.

The ... morearts of the Yoruba are as numerous as their deities. And many objects are placed on shrines to honor the gods and the ancestors. Beautiful sculpture abounds in wood and brass and the occasional terracotta. Varied masking traditions have resulted in a great diversity of mask forms. Additional important arts include pottery, weaving, beadworking and metalsmithing. The Yoruba claim that they have 401 deities; in truth. There are more than these. The complexity of their cosmology has led Western scholars to compare them to the Ancient Greeks and their impressive pantheon. Yoruba deities are known as orisha, and the high god is Olorun. No organized priesthoods or shrines exist in honor of Olorun, but his spirit is invoked to ask for blessings and to confer thanks. The Yoruba believe that when they die they enter the realm of the ancestors where they still have influence on earth. Annual homage is paid to the grave sites of ones' forbears, and lineage heads are responsible for honoring all deceased members of the lineage through a yearly sacrifice. Maskers(egungun) appear at funerals and are believed to embody the spirit of the deceased person. Other important orishas include Eshu, the trickster; Shango, the god of thunder; and Ogun, the god of iron and modern technology. The Yoruba people reside mainly in Nigeria but are spread across to Benin. Lush forest and Savannah areas surround them. Their origins can be researched back to the end of the first millennium. Yoruba communal functioning is structured around their religious concepts and their related ritualistic societies. Yoruba spiritual devotion is so complete and powerful. That all of their important artworks are dedicated to religious ceremony in one way or another. There are three main Yoruba societies or"egbe" one being the Gelede society. This sect is devoted to Yemoja, the mother of all orisha(
