Summary
| Description | Palace door (ilekun aafin), Olowe of Ise · ca. 1875-ca. 1938, Ise, Ekiti region, Nigeria, ca. 1904-1910, Wood, traces of pigment. Olowe of Ise is considered by many art historians and art collectors to be the most important Yoruba artist of the 20th century. Active in the first quarter of the century, he designed and carved architectural sculptures for several palaces in the Ekiti region of Yorubaland. His work first became known in Europe when an elaborately carved and painted door and lintel ensemble he had created for the palace of the Ogoga (king) of Ikere was displayed at the 1924 British Empire Exhibition in London. |
