A beautifully crafted divination bowl features a majestic leopard with a serpent's head in its jaws, atop a light wooden structure adorned with vibrant polychrome colors. This stunning piece is supported by six caryatid figures and an equestrian figure that forms the central pillar, showcasing the exceptional craftsmanship of the Yoruba people from West Africa between 1851 and 1920. The intricate design is a testament to their rich cultural heritage. https://collection.sciencemuseumgroup.org.uk/objects/co105217/ The information in this title, made, maker, and details fields is freely available under Creative Commons Zero.
