Description : THOMAS ONA ODULATE (NIGERIA, C. 1900-1952) YORUBA, AFRICAN CARVED FIGURES, LOT OF THREE, wood with applied pigments, depicting a native woman balancing a covered basket on her head, a native leader, and a religious figure, possibly a Bishop, holding an umbrella. Second quarter 20th century. 9 1/4 to 12 1/2 HOA (with basket on head).  Catalogue Note: Thomas Ona was born in Ijebu Ode, Nigeria, and later moved to Lagos, where he gained notoriety carving figures, mainly sold to British Colonists and other travelers. His figures are pioneering in subject manner but traditional in style, following the usual Yoruba proportions depicting an oversized head. Ona used traditional Yoruba carving tools of adze and knife and then added pigments to highlight his sculptures. His work is represented in many Museum collections, including the British Museum, the Brooklyn Museum, the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology, and the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
