Añadir al carritoA Hausa Allo board bearing Arabic inscriptions and zoomorphic animals. Ca. 285 x 490 mm, set upon a custom-made metal presentation pedestal. A great rarity on the market: a clandestine talismanic board of the type kept in many Western African homes, syncretising Muslim and local older faiths and cosmological beliefs. - While Qur'anic writing exercise boards are common, talismanic examples such as these are manufactured by special request to acquire blessings and prosperity, for medical purposes, or to ward off the evil eye as well as other misfortunes. On the surface of the board the traditional Islamic healer, or malam, inscribes secret magic formulae and images - Qur'anic verses, numbers, invocations in Arabic, insects, animals, or zoomorphic figures. This particular board appears to have been repurposed from a writing exercise board: faded Quranic verses remain visible beneath later talismanic additions, including passages from al Humaza 104:4, either al Hujurat 49:18 or al Naml 27:65, Yusuf 12:21, and al Baqara 2:255 (Ayat al Kursi, not copied in full), together with number and letter strings used for talismanic purposes. - The word 'allo' derives from the Arabic 'lawh', 'tablet', and religious works of art of this type are based on the concept of the Hidden Tablet (al-Lawh al-Mahfuz), the Mother of the Book ('Umm al-Kitab), or proto-Qur'an. According to Muslim tradition, Allah inscribed on such a tablet the destinies of all creatures before the creation; in the popular version of this tradition shared by the majority of Islamic peoples in West Africa, the Hidden Tablet has a material incarnation in the Qur'anic board. - Hausa Allo boards are kept hidden in the home and are often passed down from generation to generation. rarely if ever seen by outsiders. Indeed, secrecy is the common feature of the so-called "allo kafii gida" Qur'anic boards used by the Hausa of northern Nigeria: owners are not only reluctant to reveal the auspicious epigrams decorating these artefacts, but also seek to avoid displaying images of animals and human beings that might cause repercussions in an iconoclastic Islamic context. - General surface wear; overall sound and legible.…

Añadir al carritoA Hausa Allo board bearing Arabic inscriptions and a magic square. Ca. 340 x 650 mm, set upon a custom-made metal presentation pedestal. A great rarity on the market: a clandestine talismanic board of the type kept in many Western African homes, syncretising Muslim and local older faiths and cosmological beliefs. This example was made for two female patrons. - While Qur'anic writing exercise boards are common, talismanic examples such as these are manufactured by special request to acquire blessings and prosperity, for medical purposes, or to ward off the evil eye as well as other misfortunes. On the surface of the board the traditional Islamic healer, or malam, inscribes secret magic formulae and images - Qur'anic verses, numbers, invocations in Arabic, insects, animals, or zoomorphic figures. - This particular board is inscribed with talismanic material that includes Surat al-Talaq 65:3, repeated twice, al-Ahzab 33:70-71, al-Hadid 57:28, a magic square at the exact centre, and a larger magic square arrangement covering the back, incorporating the merged phrase "Daam Allah" ("God endures") and the names Aicha and Radhiya - likely the female patrons or beneficiaries of the board. Altogether, the verses suggest a devotional or talismanic context seeking God's provision, protection, and forgiveness; moral rectitude, and reliance on His absolute power, especially for blessing, safeguarding, or securing welfare for the named persons. - The word 'allo' derives from the Arabic 'lawh', 'tablet', and religious works of art of this type are based on the concept of the Hidden Tablet (al-Lawh al-Mahfuz), the Mother of the Book ('Umm al-Kitab), or proto-Qur'an.
