Descripción : Western Africa, Nigeria, Yoruba peoples, ca. early to mid 20th century CE. A carved wooden figural finial for a ceremonial staff honoring Shango (also known as Jakuta), a royal ancestor of the Yoruba who was the third king (Alafin) of the Oyo Kingdom, is generally revered as one of the most powerful Yoruba leaders, and was deified after his death. This piece depicts a kneeling female figure - a worshipper of Shango - holding aloft her pendulous breasts. Her expressive visage is comprised of large incised eyes, a broad nose, an open mouth, and several ritual scarification marks across her cheeks, a bifurcated, hooked headdress/coiffure tops her head. A staff like this is called an Ose Shango staff, carried and danced with by members of the Shango cult. Shango is the Yoruba deity of thunder and lightning also associated with virility, justice, and dance. Covered in traces of natural indigo pigment, this is a wonderful example!
