拍品專文

Parmi le corpus restreint des cimiers igodo liés au culte agbo honorant la déesse de la mer Olókun et les esprits de l’eau, cet exemplaire demeure le plus réussi encore en mains privées.

Cf. pour un exemplaire similaire, voir Christie’s, Londres, 24 juillet 1979, lot 188 ou encore celui conservé au Metropolitan Museum of Art, inv. n° 1977.465, de l’ancienne collection Bryce Holcombe (1941-1983).


Among the limited corpus of Igodo crests linked to the Agbo cult honouring the sea goddess Olókun and the water spirits, this piece remains the most successful example still in private hands.

For a similar one, see Christie’s, London, July 24, 1979, lot 188, or the one preserved at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, inv. no. 1977.465, from the former Bryce Holcombe collection (1941-1983).
