Exceptional variegated brown patina.Comments: This ritual mortar (�ritual� in that it is carved inverted, and the interior was never actually used as a mortar) has been attributed to the master Olowe of Ise, by Dr. Roslyn Adele Walker. Walker explains, �Among the Yoruba, plain wooden mortars (odo) are used for pounding foodstuffs or cooked yams. Decorated ones are used in religious rituals, usually in an inverted position as a seat, table or shrine cover. Odo Sango are used in the worship of Shango, the thunder god, and, especially among the northern Ekiti-Yoruba, orun oba protect a chief�s memorial to his ancestors (cf. National Museum of African Art 98:132-133).
