Ex. French coll. of African art Ornamental rattle that was available to members of the Ogboni society. Old heterogeneous golden/brown patina. The secret society Ogboni or Oshugbo of the Yoruba is one of the most famous religious cult societies that venerates the Owner of the Earth, Onilè, and it is still powerful today. Although some Ogboni works are made of wood, terracotta, or ivory, the majority are made of brass reinforced with iron, which has a link to Osun, the goddess of the river and fertility. Iron is also sacred to Ogun, god of tools and weapons. The Ogboni expression, "Ogbodirin" means "Grow old and always be as strong as iron". Similarly, the motto of the Ogboni society is "Longevity and prosperity".
