Das ist der Preis für die folgende Bewertung: Yoruba Divination Vessel, 19th century



Beschreibung : Additional Information: This vessel represents a truly remarkable carving in the Yoruba tradition. , It appears to be carved from one piece of heavy, dense wood. , The latice work of the main portion is impressive, but the focal point is definitely the carved figure contained therein. , The inside figure was presumably carved through the holes of the latice! , The top of the carving is a bowl with a lid, and on the lid are several guardian figures with common Yoruba features. , The piece shows significant age and layers of encrustation and possible pigment which suggest possible use. ,  ,There is a large corpus of Yoruba sculpture known and identified as to symbol and meaning identified to the various orishas or deities. Yoruba traditional religion has a structured pantheon of the deities known as Orisha numbering between 400 and 700 individual Yoruba gods that may share powers and attributes that are articulated in sculptural form.
