Description

Szepter, "ipawo ase"
Yoruba, Nigeria
Ohne Sockel / without base
Gelbguss, Eisen. H 42 cm.

Provenienz:
Carlo Monzino (1931-1996), Castagnola.

Das Wohlergehen der Yoruba-Gemeinschaft wird und wurde durch die Pflege der Tradition garantiert, die auf eine harmonische Kooperation der verschiedenen gesellschaftlichen Gruppen zielt.

Der ogboni-Bund ist die bedeutendste sozio-religiöse Institution, in der die Gründerväter und -mütter verehrt werden. Zum Bund gehören deshalb alle traditionellen Führer (Männer und teilweise auch Frauen), darunter auch die Würdenträger der lokalen religiösen Kulte, die Bezirkshäuptlinge, bedeutenden Hofbeamten und militärischen Führer.

Durch den sozialen Status seiner Mitglieder ist der ogboni-Bund nicht nur eine für den Kult der königlichen Ahnen und der alten Traditionen zuständige religiöse Gruppe, sondern auch eine sehr mächtige Institution, die an der Beurteilung aller sozialen, politischen und legalen Fragen beteiligt ist und als Gegengewicht zur sakralen Macht des Herrschers eine wichtige Rolle im komplexen Netzwerk von Macht und Machtkontrolle spielt.
