Nigeria

63 cm. high

Cf. Wardwell, A. (Ed.), "Yoruba: Nine Centuries of African Art and Thought", New York, 1989, p.19, fig.8, for a similar bowl also attributed to Areogun. The authors state that the figures shown on the bowl symbolize the Yoruba experience of the universe as one of continuous change and transformation, and interdependence and interaction.
