查看翻译一对华丽的约鲁巴青铜奥格博尼初学者伊甸园权杖 - 尼日利亚
编号 89525409
This pair of figures known as edan have been cast in bronze, and were designed to be worn on either end of a chain that was draped over each shoulder and from behind the neck of an Ogboni initiate as symbols of rank, at society meetings and ceremonies. One staff depicts a male and the other a female. The chain would pass through loops to the tops of the heads of the figures.
The figures represent Onile, the owner of the earth, in both male and female form. They have characteristic Yoruba features: almond-shaped eyes, flared nostrils and fine, protruding lips. Both figures have tall, conical headdresses. The faces are intended to convey wisdom and authority.
The two have a superb dark and glossy patina and contours softened by age and ritual use.
Edan are among the most fascinating sculptured objects in Yoruba culture. They are presented to an initiate into the higher ranks of a secret society, Ogboni. Ogboni is one of the most prominent Yoruba religious cult societies, which worships Onile. Its prime function is to harmonise all spirits and forces of nature. It is lead by the eldest and wisest man and woman from the community.
