This carved olumeye bowl by Olowe of Ise, a renowned Yoruba sculptor (or the Olowe of Ise atelier). The artwork showcases a central female figure adorned with intricate geometric patterns and a high, elaborate headdress. She supports a large, intricately textured cockrel bowl, symbolizing generosity and the importance of sharing. The carving includes smaller figures at her sides and a baby on her back. This composition conveys themes of fertility, abundance, and reverence for women as nurturers. Olowe's mastery is evident in the detailed carving and dynamic, rhythmic forms, exemplifying Yoruba artistic traditions and spiritual symbolism.
