Figura arcaica raffigurante il dio Eshu Legno, patina antica e crostosa, segni di usura, erosione e piccola mancanza. Yoruba, Nigeria. 34 x 7,5 cm Eshu, o Elegba, è la divinità più complessa del pantheon yoruba: messaggero degli dei, portatore di sacrifici e custode dell’ordine rituale, veglia sugli incroci, sui mercati e sulle soglie delle case. Imprevedibile, ricompensa chi lo onora e semina zizzania tra chi lo dimentica; per questo riceve offerte costanti, di cui le figure che lo raffigurano conservano traccia. Il dio è raffigurato in piedi, mentre suona il flauto, con gli occhi in rilievo. La spessa patina crostosa, derivante da numerose spruzzature rituali, testimonia un’antica e intensa attività cerimoniale. Riferimento documentario: The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, bastone da danza per Eshu (ogo Elegba), Yoruba, Nigeria, XIX secolo, inv. 2018.34.
