钟 - 贝宁 - 尼日利亚 (没有保留价)

A Janus shaped bronze Bell, in the style of Benin or Yoruba, Nigeria. The peculiarity of this bell is that it is decorated with a figure as handle. under the 293 bronze bells listed by Digital Benin, there is only one that is designed in a similar way. Those of the MET NY. "Brass bells are an essential feature of Benin ancestral altars. Arrayed along the front of the altar, they are rung in order to summon the ancestors to hear the prayers of their descendants and to partake of the offerings left there. As seen in this example, altar bells in Benin generally take the form of a truncated, four-sided pyramid." Source: MET, NY. "Ẹroro are an important part of the spiritual worship of Benin people. They are lined along the front of the ancestral altar and are used to summon the ancestors to join their descendants and partake in the ceremony. In English, the term bell is used to describe the objects described as Ẹroro as well as Aza. Most bells are Ẹroro and are made from brass and less commonly ivory. The clappers can be made of brass/bronze, iron, bone or wood. Ẹroro, which are quadrangular in form, were also depicted in other objects, such as plaques and sculptures of individuals. These offer an insight into how such objects were used and indeed worn, usually as part of regalia worn by the Ọba, chiefs and warriors. For example, quadrangular bells are seen being worn around the necks of warriors on relief plaques." Source Digital Benin Altar, Benin City in 1936, with Benin bells (Penultimate photo.). These staffs are from the Benin culture. they represent authority that is passed down in families, villages, priests or successors in general.They would be used as parts of ancestral altars to commemorate current and past leaders. These were carved from wood for everyone except the Oba’s who would have them casted from brass and sometimes from ivory. Unknown photographer (last photo sequence), in the background two bronze rattle staffs, Benin City May 1895, source Smithsonian Institution, Washington DC. On the top of the staffs there would be a slit that would house a wood or clay cylindrical rattle. This rattle was used to call attention to spirits so that they would come to their altar and make themselves present. These staffs were lined up by the altar where they symbolized the community and the continuity from generations of being passed down. On the Oba’s staff there are often figures or mudfish represented. It’s also said that the spirits from past Oba’s are housed within the staff and continue to be passed on.

钟 - 贝宁 - 尼日利亚 (没有保留价)

一口雅努斯形铜钟,具有尼日利亚贝宁或约鲁巴的风格。

这口钟的独特之处在于它以人物作为把手进行装饰。在 Digital Benin 列出的 293 口铜钟中,只有一口采用类似的设计。纽约大都会博物馆的铜钟就是如此。

“铜钟是贝宁祖先祭坛的必备品。铜钟排列在祭坛的前面,敲响铜钟是为了召唤祖先聆听后代的祈祷并享用留下的祭品。如本例所示,贝宁的祭坛钟通常呈截锥形,四面金字塔形。”来源:纽约大都会艺术博物馆。

“Ẹroro 是贝宁人精神崇拜的重要组成部分。它们排列在祖先祭坛的前面,用于召唤祖先加入他们的后代并参加仪式。在英语中,术语 bell 用于描述被描述为 Ẹroro 和 Aza 的物品。大多数钟都是 Ẹroro,由黄铜制成,不太常见的是象牙。钟铃可以由黄铜/青铜、铁、骨头或木头制成。Ẹroro 呈四边形,也出现在其他物品中,例如牌匾和个人雕塑。这些让我们了解了这些物品的使用和佩戴方式,通常是作为 Ọba、酋长和战士佩戴的徽章的一部分。例如,在浮雕牌匾上可以看到战士脖子上戴着四边形的钟。”来源 Digital Benin

1936 年的贝宁城祭坛,有贝宁钟(倒数第二张照片)。

这些权杖源自贝宁文化。它们代表着在家庭、村庄、牧师或继承者中传承下来的权威。它们会被用作祖先祭坛的一部分,以纪念现任和前任领导人。除了奥巴之外,每个人都用木头雕刻权杖,而奥巴会用黄铜或象牙铸造权杖。

权杖顶端有一个缝隙,里面放着一个木制或陶制的圆柱形摇铃。摇铃用来唤起神灵的注意,以便他们来到祭坛前,并出现。这些权杖排列在祭坛旁,象征着社区和世代相传的连续性。奥巴权杖上经常会出现人物或泥鱼。据说,过去奥巴的灵魂就藏在权杖里,并继续传承下去。
