Das ist der Preis für die folgende Bewertung: Yoruba Ajere Ifa Divination Bowl

Beschreibung : Yoruba Ajere Ifa Divination Bowl, Ketu Region, Republic of Benin or Nigeria. Agere Ifa is a container for storing sacred palm nuts for Yoruba divination. Given its ritual and aesthetic functions, it provides the Yoruba carver with a unique opportunity to display his artistic talents. Usually carved from wood and measuring between five and sixteen inches in height, a typical container is in the form of an animal or human figure bearing a small bowl. In some cases, the metaphysical attribute of a given animal motif may be used to further empower the sacred palm nuts inside the bowl. But when the motif assumes a human form, it frequently has a votive significance, especially since some are given by clients to a diviner to thank a deity for a blessing or to implore the deity to bestow more favors on the donor.
