Descripción : A Pair of Yoruba Eshu Staffs with Original Accouterments Priests
Nigeria
Rarely does one encounter a pair like this with all the magical and representational attachments still present. Suspended items include mirrors, a small spoon, strung cowrie shells, a knife with wood handle, miniature gourd vessels. Carved wood representations include typical Eshu plates, a food preparation board, and a scoop. The staffs are in excellent condition with original patination. One exhibits a crack in the right side of the head and another through the torso.
