A highly significant, large lidded bowl opon igede or igbaje ifa by Areogun von Osi (ca. 1880 - 1954). Yoruba, Nigeria. H 60cm, ø 53.5cm. Richly carved with figures from mythology and everyday life (inv. no. 5845). His most popular themes were the equestrian figure with rifle or spear accompanied by several figures or the mother with child. There were greater possibilities for variation in the relief carving, which he exploited to the full, particularly in the palace doors and bowls - such as the one offered here: the Islamic conqueror, the cyclist, the woman with a calabash full of yams or the woman having problems with two men. Illustrated in: K. Carroll, Yoruba Religious Carvings, Pagan and Christian Sculpture in Nigeria and Dahomey (1967) fig. 48 (in situ, text, p. 161); K.-F. Schaedler, Encyclopedia of African Art and Culture (2009) p. 36. A similar lidded bowl, apparently badly damaged (handle missing), is said to be in Ilorin (Nigeria Magazine no. 77, June 1963, p. 126). Another, very similar lidded bowl from his workshop is illustrated in W.B. Fagg, Yoruba, Sculpture of West Africa (1982) pp. 161f. Areogun of Osi (actually: Dada Arowogun Bunna) from Ilorin in the Ekiti region in north-eastern Nigeria, is considered one of the most important Yoruba master carvers alongside Olowe of Ise. Like his colleague Olowe, Areogun worked mainly for the royal courts and for the Gelede cult, which uses the large epa masks in Ekiti. Areogun studied under Bamgbose of Osi, with whom he worked for sixteen years as an apprentice and assistant. He was a member of several secret covenant organizations, including the famous Ogboni Society. Under the influence of some of the most important African artists, also known abroad, such as Roti, Baba Oloja of Isare and Roti Alari of Ikerin, he was able to fully develop his creative power and talent. Black, thick encrusted patina, insignificantly damaged, otherwise intact. Provenance: Ex Coll. Gert Stoll, Berchtesgaden.
