Figuren-Paar
Yoruba, Nigeria
H je 29 cm.

Provenienz:
- Helmut Zake, Heidelberg.
- Vera und Wolfgang Nerlich, Muenchen.
- Kunstauktionshaus Zemanek-Muenster, Wuerzburg.
- Schweizer Privatsammlung, Zuerich.

Diese seltene Darstellung zweier Priesterinnen ist in ihrer Zuordnung ausserhalb des gesellschaftlichen Kontexts nicht genau definierbar.

Sehr wahrscheinlich wurden sie in einem Schrein aufbewahrt und dienten dort kultischen Zwecken.

Als Altarfiguren stellten die Skulpturen bei den Yoruba nur selten Gottheiten selbst dar, sondern meist deren Verehrer und Priester. Den Figuren wurde anlaesslich Feierlichkeiten geopfert um bestimmte Anliegen positiv zu beeinflussen.
