Rattle used during epha divination processes, common practice among the Urhobo. In Urhobo sanctuaries, sculptures for ritual use are present among a diversity of objects of all kinds. This is a tablet with a sculpted handle, the motifs of which represent the appearance of the group's masks. The board has many perforations, a half shell and is attached. Brown patina of use. The Urhobos, living near the northwest of the Niger Delta River, form the major ethnic group in Delta State among the 36 states of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. They speak Urhobo, a language of the Niger-Congo group. Along with the Isoko, whose art is similar, they are collectively known as Sobo. Their large sculptures representing the spirits of nature, Edjo, or the founding ancestors of the clan, to whom sacrifices were offered, were grouped together in sanctuaries within the villages.
