Sceptre Shango Hevioso, culture Fon, Bénin. H.44cm

Ancien et élégant sceptre de cérémonie Shango Hevioso. C'est le dieu de la guerre et du tonnerre, il est prié pour sa force et craint de tous, c'est aussi celui qui juge et donne la sentence. La représentation est minimaliste, cubiste et inventive. Un visage se dégage au sommet du sceptre. De sa bouche sort un fer représentant une hache, symbole de Shango. Sur son vente il y a une tortue, dans son dos des animaux mystérieux. Beau travail de peinture avec un ajout de pigment bleu. La patine est belle et ancienne. Une belle pièce de collection ancienne et authentique. Circa 1950.
