Orí Olókun


A visit to the British Museum is not complete without paying homage to this masterpiece (Orí Olókun bronze cast). A beautiful product of Yoruba ingenuity and craftsmanship.
Why is it being kept in this museum? Pure and simple, nothing like this was ever created in the British Isles circa 1300! The technology that created this masterpiece was not available here in the 12th century!
I am proud of my ancestors.
