Yoruba Divination Bowl

Yoruba Divination Bowl

Nigeria

The Yoruba Divination Bowl is often rich in decoration. This one has five helping deities carved around the base. All carry powerful symbols (one is wearing a cross on his chest).  The diviner consults a god, shakes the 16 sacred palm nuts inside the bowl, reads their patterns, and from them predicts a course of action for his client.

This entity appears in the story “10. Blood Sacrifice Week”.
