Yoruba Kola Nut Divination Bowl, Nigeria #1151 PROVENANCEThe main Yoruba Cults are the Gelede, Epa, Ogboni, and the Worship of Esu, through which a very wide variety of Deities intervene. In the Yoruba Pantheon, Orunmila is the Deity "Orisa" that is consulted in case of problems through Divination Ifà. Birds in Yoruba Iconography signify a Divine Force called áshe (ah-SHEY)—the Power to Make Things Happen—which only the highest Yoruba men and women possess. The Birds connote the áshe of the King and of a group of elderly women called "The Mothers" who support him. This type of Ritual Cup meant to contain Sacred Palm Nuts was used in Yoruba Divination Rites. Focused on the Veneration of its Gods, or Orisha, Yoruba Religion relies on artistic sculptures with Coded Messages (Aroko). They are designed by Shamans and Sculptors at the request of Followers, Soothsayers and their Customers. These Spirits are supposed to intercede with the Supreme God Olodumare. CONDITION: fine patina of ritua
