Yoruba Horseman Figure Nigeria

Description: {Description}Yoruba Horseman Figure Nigeria The Yoruba, the largest ethnic group in Nigeria and one of the most substantial in Africa, possess a profound historical and cultural legacy that dates back centuries. Despite enduring exploitation during the era of the Slave Trade, the Yoruba have preserved a rich tapestry of beliefs and rituals, prominently expressed through an extensive array of art forms. Yoruba art, spanning sculpture, mask-making, textiles, beadwork, and pottery, is revered for its aesthetic beauty and cultural significance. Notable examples include the Gelede mask, utilized in ceremonies to honor female spirits, and the Ifa divination tray, integral to divination practices. Yoruba textiles, particularly the indigo-dyed Adire cloth, showcase intricate designs and vibrant colors. This artistic tradition remains a vital component of Yoruba culture, celebrated globally. The oral history recounts a creation myth involving the descent of Oduduwa, the ancestor of all Yoruba, and the establishment of the Oyo Empire in the 15th century with Portuguese assistance. The 18th-century civil war and Fulani invasion prompted Yoruba migration southward, leading to the founding of Ibadan and Abeokuta. British colonization in 1901 retained elements of Yoruba governance through an indirect rule system established in collaboration with local leaders.
