Re: Igbo Art (Nka Igbo) « #49 on: March 26, 2011, 12:24 AM » -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IKENGA The Ikenga may be nothing more than the ancient Egyptian god Khenmu KHENMU Other Names: Chem, Kemu, Khem, Khnum Patron of: the creation of people and animals. Appearance: a man with the head of a ram. Description: Khenmu formed a triad with Anuket and Satis, and was possibly a Nubian god originally. The worship of Khenmu dates to the earliest of times in Egypt, the Unas Pyramid Text indicates that his cult was already old when that ancient document was written. Called "the Great Potter," Khenmu was the creator of people. He sculpted them out of clay from the Nile, held them up so that Ra could shine his life-giving rays upon them, and then placed them in the womb. His wife was the lioness-goddess Menhit, and their son was Hike. Originally a primal force deity of creation like Ptah, his role was later modified to fit him into the pantheon of the state religion. Worship: Worshipped throughout Nubia and Egypt, his cult centers were Elephantine, Sunnu, Abu, and Semnut. I think Jen33 assessement is correct that deity the igbos worshiped did came from the nile valley. Overall, the art being displayed on this trend is excellient. |

The hat? I don't know if it's a fila. Can't really tell from that picture, but it could be. Nigerian attire is really mixed between groups because of the adoption of some Hausa/Fulani attire by some southern groups (like Yoruba). |
