About The Artwork
The Yoruba culture of Nigeria considers the human head the most vital part of a person. The size and elaborate finishing of the head of traditional Yoruba figure sculptures speak to the importance ascribed to this part of the human anatomy. “The prominence given to the head in Yoruba culture is based on the physical and metaphysical but a higher value is based on the metaphysical as It is said to be the site of a person’s essential nature (Iwa) and their life force (Ase)” (Lawal 1985) At the physical level, the head is considered a shell (Ori Ode) that houses the metaphysical head or Inner head (Ori Inu), which is connected through the life force to Olodumare (Creator of existence)
