Consulter la cote et le prix de Mumuye Divination Figure Nigeria 23 Inch , second half 20th Cen


Description : Additional Information: A highly stylized  ,example of , sculptures from the Mumuye people. , This is a strong  ,Mumuye figure that would stand well in any collection. The Mumuye , people live along the eastern bank of the Benue River in Northern Nigeria in an area of mixed art and influences. Traditionally the Mumuye use figurative sculptures for a number of wide ranging purposes. Highly abstracted figures called Lagalagan are in the care of a trusted elder who keeps them in a shrine that is a small hut in the family compound where they are involved in family and community life. They are thought to be able to manipulate the forces of nature and control human behavior. Mumuye figures participate in ceremonies to bring rain, make iron, heal, advise, sit at trials and officiate at funerals. Mumuye figures are some of the most highly stylized figures found in West Africa. Their highly attuned figures are prime examples of the best of abstraction and stylistic development available in African sculpture.  , I have examined this piece and agree with the description.
