EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Shango dance wand, also known as "oshe" created by the Nigerian School in the late 19th to early 20th century. Crafted from wood, pigment, and metal, this exquisite piece stands at an impressive size of 43.1x16.1x7.6 cm. The Shango dance wand is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Yoruba peoples in Nigeria. It embodies their deep spiritual beliefs and serves as a symbol of power and authority within their society. Masterfully carved by the renowned Master of the Owu (1850-1925), this wooden sculpture exhibits intricate details that captivate viewers' attention. The artist's skillful craftsmanship is evident in every curve and line, showcasing their mastery over woodcarving techniques. As we admire this figure captured through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported into a world where music fills the air and rhythmic movements bring forth divine energy. This dance wand represents not only artistic expression but also acts as a conduit between humans and deities. Now housed in the Dallas Museum of Art in Texas, USA, this African masterpiece continues to inspire awe with its cultural significance and artistic brilliance. Its presence reminds us of our interconnectedness with different cultures across time and space while celebrating Africa's rich artistic traditions.
