$245.00
Old African statue from the Yoruba, Nigeria. Hand carved from a single piece of wood.Size: 50 cm high.This Yoruba statue was collected between 1950 and 1960 and ended up in my private collection in 2006.The Yorubapeople, numbering over 12 million, are the largest nation in Africa with an art-producingtradition. Most of them live in southwest Nigeria, with considerable communities furtherwest in the Republic of Benin and in Togo. They are divided into approximately twentyseparate subgroups, which were traditionally autonomous kingdoms. Excavation at Ife oflife-sized bronze and terracotta heads and full-length figures of royalty and theirattendants have startled the world, surpassing in their portrait-like naturalismeverything previously known from Africa. The cultural and artistic roots of the Ifemasters of the Classical Period (ca. 1050—1500) lie in the more ancient culturalcenter of Nok to the northeast, though the precise nature of this link remains obscure.
Now two-third of the Yoruba are farmers. Even if they live in the city,they keep a hut close to the fields; they grow corn, beans, cassava, yams, peanuts,coffee, and bananas. It is they who control the markets -- along with the merchants andartisans: blacksmiths, copper workers, embroiderers, and wood sculptors, trades handeddown from generation to generation.
