Image description

Yoruba ritual bowl, Nigeria, c 1880-1920. This carved wooden ritual bowl made by the Yoruba people in Nigeria was one of a set of 'ifa' ritual bowls known as 'Adjella-ifa', which were used for divination. It is in the form of a hen supported by a group of figures including a woman and child, and the Yoruba trickster god, Eshu (or Elegba). Eshu appears in all Yoruba divination bowls or trays and carries human sacrifices to Ifa in the divination process. Palm kernels are stored in the bowl which is passed from hand to hand to determine the cause of an illness. ©SSPL/Science Museum
