No. 90694525
A Bronze head in the style of Ife, Nigeria.
Si milar bronze heads like the one of the Wunmonije Compound type are quite often found, which raises the question of their use. It is assumed that they were attached to a life-size wooden figure, possibly with movable limbs. These figures were dressed in the same way as the person depicted would have been. Perhaps the Oba was thus able to attend ceremonies and burials without being personally present. When a new Oba came into power perhaps only the bronze head was replaced.
„ … vier Öffnungen, die für Nägel bestimmt waren, mit denen man den Kopf wahrscheinlich ursprünglich an einem hölzernen Rumpf befestigt hatte.“ Frank Willet, Ife, pl. 3.
„Die lebensgroßen Bronzeköpfe aus Ife mögen für denselben Zweck an ähnlichen Körpern befestigt gewesen sein.“ Frank Willet, Ife, pl. 2.

View translationBeautiful terracotta figure, as described, and extremely well packaged. I highly recommend this seller.
View translationSo far, I have always been extremely satisfied with your service. Unfortunately, the last shipment arrived badly damaged. Even before I had taken the piece out of the wooden box, I could already feel.
View translationWe sincerely regret that this beautiful piece has broken. We had wrapped it securely and even sent it in a wooden crate. We had also chosen the provider Jumingo, from whom a lady assured us by telephone that bulky goods are handled with particular care and differently to regular parcels (not on the conveyor belt, moved by hand etc.). DEAR OTHER CUSTOMERS, if the carrier causes damage, please contact us first before giving us a bad rating. Even if we are not responsible for damage caused by the carrier, we will always endeavour to assist you in settling the claim. Thank you very much!
