Ritual cups in traditional African art of Nigeria. Offering cups, some of which were used to hold kola nuts or other gifts for visitors, were once placed in the royal palaces of the Ekiti and Igbomina regions of Yorubaland. The Yoruba religion is based on artistic sculptures with coded messages (aroko). These spirits are believed to intercede with the supreme god Olodumare. Some subjects also represent flautists in reference to certain deities associated with divination. Within the Yoruba pantheon, Orunmila is the "orisa" deity who is consulted in case of problem through ifà divination thanks to the diviner babalawo (iyanifà for a woman). Matte patina, abrasions, old restoration (wicker). (source: “Yoruba”, B.Lawal, 5 continents)
