Yoruba Art is a rich and diverse form of artistic expression originating from the Yoruba people of Nigeria and neighboring countries. It encompasses various mediums, including sculpture, textiles, pottery, and beadwork. Traditional Yoruba art often reflects cultural beliefs, social status, and religious practices, with many pieces serving ceremonial purposes or representing deities and ancestors.
Sculpture is particularly significant in Yoruba art, with figures carved from wood or stone often depicting Orishas, the spiritual beings in Yoruba religion. Additionally, vibrant textiles, such as Aso Oke, showcase intricate patterns and colors, highlighting the community's craftsmanship and cultural identity.
