WOYO POT LIDThe Woyo of Cabinda used a pictographic language to convey feelings about specific social situations. Wooden pot lids with motifs carved in relief conveyed messages usually between a husband and wife but sometimes between parents and son or daughter. The lids were placed on the clay pots in which a wife would usually carry the food for her husband to the men’s communal dining space. The lid would convey her feelings and a husband might place a lid on a pot before returning it to his wife to convey his message. A young woman obtained her initial supply of pot lids from her mother and grandmother at the time of her marriage together with advice concerning their use. If a suitable pot lid was not available to convey a particular message it was made to order. The complainant would seek the advice of nkotikuanda, the village sage whose instructions were conveyed to the local sculptor. If the message was too complicated for the recipient to read he would visit the nkotikuanda for a translation. (McGuire, C., ‘Woyo Pot Lids’, in African Arts, Vol.XIII, no.2, February 1980, pp.54-56). Interpretation of individual lids is difficult without detailed knowledge of the language used but the lids contained messages conveyed with each individual element as well as a more general message conveyed by the combination of elements.“But here is a strange thing: in the corner of the hut, a disc of black wood, about twenty centimetres wide. On one of its sides, figures in relief: a spiral, a half-ellipse, a sort of hook forming an acute accent. - What's this? - A lid. You find such lids everywhere in the region from the sea to Mayumbe. They carry signs, carved figures: each of them represents either a proverb or a native fable. But now it's finished: aluminum and enamelled iron pans have dethroned native pots. And what does this one mean? - Wait. We're going to call an old woman. The old woman no longer knew how to explain very well what we wanted to know. We had to resort to the chieftaincy secretary who called on the most competent female elders:This spiral is the centipede: it is coiled at the edge of the path, it is coiled because it senses danger. This means: if you see the centipede curled up, be careful, there is a man nearby. In other words: watch the omens.And this circle?- That means: you have to listen to the person who comes to tell you what people say about you, because it is useful to hear.- And this cut ellipse?- Ah! This is the oyster shell: we opened the oyster, and we gave you one of its halves. It is the symbol of sharing. The meaning is: I gave you something today so that when I meet you again, you in turn will give me something. You understand?- Of course. And that sharp angled hook?- Well, that means that when something is hung high, you have to raise your arm to get it... And everyone laughed. All languages work now. And as it is clear that I am interested in local things, pot lids come out of all the boxes: two first, then five, then ten; and it continues: it would be up to me to buy all the objects in the village.The lids are now passed from hand to hand.There is this one dominated by a sort of pyramid; it represents a tomb and reminds its owner that to enjoy, after her death, a beautiful tomb like this, she must have many children... and that if she does not have children, she will be forgotten after her death.There is this other one which represents an open trap; morality: for the trap to work... you must first set it. There is this other one which shows a standing bird: “when the bird is at the top of the termite mound it sees what is happening”; popular wisdom translates: we must take a step back to judge events. There are other covers, more complicated, such as one which shows a woman followed by a hooded man armed with a stick, reminding us that we must observe the customs of the tribe, or this other which presents a double bell, similar to the iron bells that the chiefs once had to summon the people of their villages, maintaining the spirit of discipline within homes by making it known that “when the chief's bell beats, you must go and listen to what he says”.Seeing the money coming out of our pockets, the natives emptied their huts of their reserves.”(Scohy, A., "Etapes au soleil", Brussels, 1952, pp.115-117)22.5 cm. diameterProvenancecollected by André Scohy (1914-1994), before 1952and by descent through the familyLiteratureScohy, A., "Etapes au soleil", Brussels, 1952, p.115

Literature: H. Avray Tipping, Country Life, vol. LVIII, 8 July 1925, p. 96 H. Avray Tipping, English Homes, Period VI, vol. I, London, 1926, pp. 19-21, figs. 30-31 and 33 C. Gilbert, The Life and Work of Thomas Chippendale, London, 1978, vol. I, p. 263 and vol. II, p. 11, fig. 21 and p. 109, fig. 186 C. Gilbert, 'Chippendale's Brocket Hall Saloon Suite', Christie's International Magazine, June- July 1994, pp. 46-49.  Thomas Chippendale's commission for Viscount Melbourne at Brocket Hall was delivered in a concentrated period from about 1772 until 1775, alongside furniture made for Melbourne House, Piccadilly (now Albany), which Melbourne bought from Lord Holland in 1771. And while both commissions were not as large or as lengthy as those for his major Yorkshire patrons, the seat furniture he made for the Drawing Room at Brocket originally comprised twelve armchairs, twelve side chairs and four settees, which is the largest salon suite Chippendale provided for any client. One pair (of four) candle stands also made for the Drawing Room at Brocket by Chippendale, formerly in the Gerstenfeld Collection, Washington DC, were acquired in 2018 by The Cleveland Museum of Art (2018.203).  Brocket Hall Sir Matthew Lamb, 1st Baronet, purchased the estate in 1746 and built the hall as it is seen today in around 1760 to the designs of the architect Sir James Paine. The interiors of the house are mostly on a modest country house scale with the exceptions of the main staircase and the Grand Saloon, for which the present chairs were commissioned. These rooms were decorated specifically for entertaining royalty. The walls are lined with silk, the original furniture was made by Chippendale, and the ceiling was painted by Francis Wheatley. The cost of this one room alone is recorded as ￡1,500 which equated to more than the cost of a substantial mansion at the time. The Hall took fifteen years to compete, by which time Sir Matthew had died and his son Peniston Lamb inherited Brocket Hall at the age of 21. Sir Peniston was raised to the peerage, as 1st Viscount Melbourne in 1781 allegedly on account of his wife's social and political capabilities as mistress of the Prince Regent, the future King George IV. Upon the death of 1st Lord Melbourne, his son William inherited and succeeded to the title, becoming the 2nd Viscount Melbourne. William was a political powerhouse of the time and held the position of Prime Minister twice throughout his lifetime. In 1837, it was Lord Melbourne who broke the news to a young Victoria that she was to become Queen. She often visited Brocket Hall owing to their close friendship and until her marriage to Prince Albert, weekly bunches of flowers were sent from the Estate to the Palace. On Melbourne's death, the house passed to his sister, Emily, whose second husband was another Prime Minister, Lord Palmerston. It was in turn inherited by Emily's grandson by her first marriage, Francis Cowper, 7th Earl Cowper, though it was his younger brother, Henry (d.1887), who lived at Brocket Hall. In 1893, Lord Mount Stephen, leased Brocket Hall from the 7th Earl for the remainder of his lifetime. Lord Stephen was President of the Bank of Montreal and the first Canadian to be elevated to the Peerage of the United Kingdom. For the next three years guests included the Queen's children: the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Duke and Duchess of Connaught and the Princess Mary, Duchess of Teck. After the death of the 7th Earl Cowper (1905), the underlying future reversion was left to his niece, but she died only a year after him (1906) and the estate passed to her husband, Admiral Lord Walter Kerr, who lived at Melbourne Hall. When Lord Mount Stephen died in 1921, Kerr put the estate up for sale and in 1923 it was purchased by Sir Charles Nall-Cain who owned and ran the brewing company Walker Cain Ltd, later Allied Breweries. He was raised to the peerage in 1923 for his contribution to the national war effort and economy.
