Lot 488 | Schalen-Trägerin "Olumeye", Yoruba, Nigeria, wohl um 1900
Aus einem Stück dunklen Vollholz geschnitzte kniende, freundlich lächelnde Frauen-Figur, die eine Schale mit zwei Vogelbeinen in beiden Händen hält und ein Kind auf dem Rücken trägt. Sie hat eine kunstvolle hohe Kamm-Frisur und trägt eine Kette, Gesicht und Körper sind mit Narbentatauierungen geschmückt. Die Platte auf der sie kniet wird ihrerseits von vier kleinen Figuren getragen, welche ebenfalls auf einem Podest sitzen. Höhe ca. 58 cm. Mit Alters- und Gebrauchsspuren, Rissbildung, Abriebstellen und kleineren Fehlstellen. Solche ‘Schalen-Trägerinnen’ wurden bei den Yoruba zumeist in Schreinen des bedeutenden Gottes Shango (Donner-Gott) oder seiner Frau Oya aufgestellt. Sie symbolisieren Priesterinnen oder Verehrerinnen, die diesen Göttern opferten. Auch die Besucher dieser Schreine legten Opfergaben in ihre Schalen. Im Alltag, in den Häusern wohlhabender Familien, verwendete man solche Figuren, um den Gästen in den Schalen Kola-Nüsse u. a. anzubieten.
