The Yoruba of Nigeria are skilled carvers, the most prolific in Africa, producing large vigorous, wooden sculptures and statues in a great diversity of subject matter, including everyday scenes and religious subjects. The sculptural tradition in the Nigerian region can be traced back to the Nok about 2000 BC. The surviving wood carvings of the Yoruba are probably only up to two hundred years old, as even hardwoods do not survive in the climate, but the tradition is probably far older. This is a carved wooden figure group of a chief and his household. The carving is simple, not of the quality of the hardwood carving from northern Nigeria, the quality of the wood is probably not so good either. The statue is painted in white, black, blue and yellow. The chief is seated on a stool at the top of the statue. He wears a diagonally striped robe over one shoulder and a large conical hat which has been carved with triangular incisions and painted to represent a beaded crown. A carved bird stands on the apex with three others, apparently pecking around the sides. The birds often represent connections with the spirit world in W Africa. The chief holds a fly-whisk, a symbol of authority and he wears a pair of shoes. Below him are three female standing figures, the female servants of the houshold, who support the chief's platform. They have striped black and white loin cloths and elaborate, upswept hairstyles. Below them, at the bottom of the statue, is a niche in which sit the carved figures of the chief's two wives, unclothed except for banded waistbands, and also with upswept hair. All the figures are painted with their cicatrices, or scars, as groups of three lines on the forehead and cheeks and a single line on the chin, in black. The sculpture comes from Abeokuta in the western part of Nigeria and was collected at the end of the 19th century by Sir William Macgregor. statuette. figurine William MacGregor Yoruba https://exhibitions.abdn.ac.uk/university-collections/files/original/73903c75c98e60a30750d026639c2057.jpg 036675be7df9ce63f463e20b4306453f Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The Inuit of Arctic America needed warm, snowproof and windproof clothing to live and work in the sub-zero temperatures that prevail there. For this they used the skins of the animals they hunted for food, such as seal, caribou, whale, walrus, bear, birds and fish. They used sinew for thread. It was important to have good boots, these were cut out, in three pieces, and sewn by the women, who had to spend much time chewing the edges of the pieces of hide before it was sewn together to make it soft enough to pierce with a needle. This is a pair of boots made of seal-skin, from which the hair has now gone. They are sewn together with sinew and embroidered with floral designs in bright-coloured purple, blue, green and red cotton thread. There was an edging of red thread at the seam where the sole joins the tongue and the sole is pleated very finely at the toe to fit it to the tongue and to make space for the foot. The cotton thread was probably traded from Europeans, but the technique of making them is Inuit. The boots were made in 1906 by Mrs Lane, who was half Inuit, for William Macgregor at Port Burwell, Labrador, Canada. These boots were the most effective type of footwear in the Arctic, being flexible and giving the wearer good purchase on slippery ice, as well as being warmer than any European boots of the period. Boot-making was an art and Inuit women invested many hours in preparing skins and sinew, cutting out and in chewing the hide, even young girls and very old women could do this task. boot pair William MacGregor https://exhibitions.abdn.ac.uk/university-collections/files/original/cfa40953cf289cd338585050f555b0a8.jpg dc97df9f9bcefc4bb5220bfafa756691 https://exhibitions.abdn.ac.uk/university-collections/files/original/cf42192248455e2b8c6adef0b66bf87b.jpg 5a6232ee88bbf891f232cb6cdbb72632 https://exhibitions.abdn.ac.uk/university-collections/files/original/9d12ff6050b691e425c0b5e839c6d49a.jpg 6a8ec93951c2f8b3b62385d66fc97c20 https://exhibitions.abdn.ac.uk/university-collections/files/original/ba4dc81d9f20fea8e09026afc958d3a5.jpg b450b9bd58773af48a8d0666f570bbc6 https://exhibitions.abdn.ac.uk/university-collections/files/original/dcf51ccc5fc8f11b050b2e5b9f16fb07.jpg 1088f7f8f42024990f6b49e2d4ef0c4a Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
