Compare ritual and royal objects from the Yoruba and Edo peoples of Nigeria to learn how their rulers maintain worldly authority with the assistance of spiritual forces. Examine a colorful beaded crown that empowers a Yoruba ruler and a 300-year-old bronze sculpture that establishes legitimacy for an Edo king. These and other stunning objects will introduce divination, mythology and communication with ancestors.
Presented by the Cleveland Museum of Art.
