Limited Edition Gelede-Inspired Yoruba Sculpture | 18” Hand-Carved Omo Wood | African Art | Oshogbo Collector’s Statement Piece

Only 10 of These Are Being Offered
Bring the beauty and visual language of Yoruba Gelede tradition into your collection with this striking 18-inch hand-carved sculpture, crafted in Oshogbo, Nigeria, from rich omo wood.

This sophisticated figure is Gelede-inspired, drawing on the graceful forms, elaborate adornment, stylized facial features, headdress, and symbolic presentation associated with Yoruba artistic traditions. She holds a beautifully carved feather fan and vessel, while the geometric detailing of the pedestal adds a refined architectural element to the composition.

The sculpture showcases the natural character of the wood through its deep reddish-brown tones and highly polished surface. Intricate facial markings, jewelry, carved footwear, and the dramatic sculptural skirt give the figure an unmistakable presence.

At 18 inches tall, this is substantial enough to serve as a focal point in a sophisticated interior—whether displayed in a private collection, luxury home, gallery-style setting, or curated African art collection.
