賣家描述
Opon Ifa Divination Tray – Yoruba – Nigeria – Wood – Mid-20th century
Details
Origin: Yoruba people
Country: Nigeria
Materials: Wood
Dimensions: 29.5 x 20 x 2 cm
Period: Mid-20th century
Provenance: ex Alan Donovan collection
Description
A finely carved Yoruba opon Ifa divination tray, notable for its elegant rectangular format and the quality of its incised border decoration. The upper border is carved with a stylised head, conventionally identified as Esu, the mediator of the Ifa divinatory system.
This example is especially appealing for the balance of its proportions, the clarity of its carving, and the warm old patina of the wood. Functional in origin, it also stands today as a refined sculptural object, combining ritual significance with a distinctly graphic aesthetic.
A classic and evocative Yoruba object, both understated and visually compelling.
Condition
Wear, scratches, and surface marks consistent with age and use. Overall good condition. Please refer to the photographs.
Included
The divination tray only.
No stand included.
