$1,700.00
‘Oti Olokun' is a striking, highly polished metallic sculpture that serves as a magnificent homage to the classical portraiture of the Yoruba people. Gleaming with a brilliant, reflective finish, the bust features the iconic vertical facial scarification (striations) characteristic of ancient Ife artistry. The figure is crowned with an elaborate, towering headdress and adorned with stylized neck rings, traditional symbols of royalty, spiritual depth, and earthly prosperity. This piece stands as a commanding centerpiece, radiating serenity and ancestral power.

Artist Statement
Through the timeless medium of cast metal, I sought to capture not only the physical presence of my subjects, but also the weight of the traditions they carry—reflecting the strength, mystery, and enduring spirit of our heritage. The metal allows each subject’s essence to stand immortalized, radiant with the pride of our history.
