Descubra la tasación y los precios de esta y más obras de arte africano en Africartmarket. Nigerian Yoruba Brass Bell



Descripción : West Africa, Nigeria, Yoruba people, ca. early to mid 20th century CE. A handsome four-sided brass bell that makes a piercing sound when rung. An anthropomorphic face is high on one side and woven, rope-like motifs are cast into the brass around the openwork sections on its sides. The thick, large loop at its top is also decorated with a similar rope-like motif, creating an interesting texture to touch. Bells are associated by the Yoruba with the Oshugbo society which honors community founders. Size: 3.5 W x 7 H (8.9 cm x 17.8 cm) See a similar example at the Smithsonian National Museum of African Art: Provenance: Mark Clayton collection, Long Beach, California, USA, Mr. Clayton is a noted African expert and collector who recently had Nigerian bronze objects from his collection featured in an exhibition at the UCLA Fowler Museum entitled Summoning the Ancestors (September 2018 - March 2019).
