Catalogue Note
Cette coupe - rare - illustre la variété et la richesse des thèmes développés par les sculpteurs Yoruba dans la création des réceptacles à offrandes opon. Destinée à recevoir les présents pour des invités, des offrandes rituelles pour un orisha, ou encore les éléments sacrés utilisés lors de la divination ifa, cette coupe à l'origine sculptée sur pied se distingue par la qualité du décor en haut relief, présentant une succession de saynètes tirées de la vie quotidienne. Profonde patine d'usage, sombre.
