Description

Title: Yoruba wooden figure - Nigeria - African Art Tribal Art

Description: Focused on the veneration of its 400 gods, or orisà , orisha, the religion Yoruba relies on artistic sculptures with coded messages (aroko). They are designed by sculptors at the request of followers, soothsayers and their customers. These spirits are supposed to intercede with the supreme god Olodumare. The kingdoms of Oyo and Ijebu were born following the demise of the Ife civilization and are still the basis of the yoruba's political structure. The Oyo created two cults centered on the ever-active Societies Egungun and Sango, which worshiptheir their gods through ceremonies using masks, statuettes, sceptres and divination supports.
