The Identification of the “Bird of Prophecy” in Benin Kingdom Art
The identity of the bird of prophecy depicted on Benin ideophones is enigmatic. The iconic brass castings of this bird serve as a reminder of the Benin-Idah War of ca. 1515–1517 and offer one of the visual props of that event among the do (Bini) who inhabit what is now do State in southern Nigeria. As a commemorative icon the bird of prophecy ideophone is used at Ugie r (Festival of the Bird of Prophecy). Senior chiefs clack a brass casting of th…
The Dating Game
To determine the age and authenticity of Benin bronzes collectors and curators have turned to scientific analyses for certainty. Galleries increasingly offer every security from TL Dating to spectrography for the Benin objects they advertise. These watertight guarantees for objects that appear stylistically anomalous, even contemporary, have created a stir among art historians who are aware of TL and other methods usually through hearsay and conf…
The Vigango Affair
Fullerton (CSUF), repatriated twenty-seven Mijikenda vigango memorial wood posts. Ten days later the vigango gures were air-freighted to Kenya, their place of origin. e success of this endeavor depends on one's point of view. University administrators and Kenyan embassy o cials in had signed the transfer documents with a no blame proviso. Bureaucratic procedures and unanticipated hindrances delayed the repatriation and almost thwarted it. Assiste…
Commentary
The prelude to the film version of Don Quixote opens with Don Manuel Cervantes jailed by the Inquisition for putting on charades. When inmates express amazement that anyone could be imprisoned for staging plays, someone replies that plays are not always what they seem. His fellow prisoners then put Cervantes on mock trial for being a poet. "Poets!" says one, "Spinning nonsense out of nothing! Blurring men's eyes to reality." Cervantes retorts: "R…

The Clothing of Political Identity
La scarification et le tatouage («iwu ») chez l'homme et la femme bini furent longtemps d'une grande importance au royaume benin (Nigeria) car ils marquaient l'appartenance sociale. Pratiques par des « osiwu », ils ont aujourd'hui disparu. L'adoption de modes vestimentaires alternatives entraina le declin des tatouages qui sont desormais representes sur les costumes (« ewu iwu »).

Changing Conceptions of Family Regulation among the Hindu East Indians in Rural Trinidad
The Hindu East Indians in rural Trinidad are used as an example to illustrate the hypothesis that socioeconomic conditions are critical in determining strategies of family formation. The difference between past and present attitudes to family planning seems to lie in villagers changing perceptions of social and economic advantage. Present receptivity to family limitation seems to be linked to economic necessity. New educational and occupational o…

Kingship Succession Rituals in Benin. 3
As the eldest son of the late Oba, Prince Akenzua had earlier been invested as the Edaiken of Benin (see Part 1 of this series, November 1983), a title that officially acknowledged his right to the throne. As Edaiken, or Crown Prince, he ruled over Uselu, a community outside Benin City that in almost every way replicated in extreme miniature the one he would inherit as king. During his apprenticeship the Edaiken learned the elusive art of statecr…

Cultural and Structural Dimensions of Occupational Prestige in an East Indian Community in Trinidad
One consequence of the far-reaching social and economic changes taking place among the East Indians in a rural Trinidadian village has been a lengthening of the status hierarchy. Traditional labor activities have been replaced by a broad spectrum of occupational possibilities, with local aspirations geared to urban and white-collar employment. However, while the processes of economic development seem to have altered the social structure of the co…

The House That Idah Built
The Initiation of a Priestess
The setting-an impluvium, a courtyard, or a large room-is airy and cool. The suffused light of the late-afternoon tropical sky illuminates the performance space. The participants, mostly women dressed in white cotton garments decorated with cowrie shells and brass cutouts, sing, dance, clap, and play calabash rattles. Bells are rung to invoke the deity whom they have come to worship. Prayers are chanted over and over. A white fowl is killed. Some…
