The Yorùbá religion comprises the traditional religious and spiritual concepts and practices of the Yoruba people. Its homeland is in Southwestern Nigeria and the adjoining parts of Benin and Togo, a region that has come to be known as Yorubaland. Yorùbá religion is formed of diverse traditions and has no single founder.Yoruba religious beliefs are part of itan, the total complex of songs, histories, stories and other cultural concepts which make up the Yorùbá society. The Yoruba conceive the cosmos as constructed of two realms, symbolized in the upper and lower halves of a spherical guard named „ORON“, the supernatural, invisible world inhabited by spirits, ancestors and deities and „AYE“ the visible, tangible world that is tantamount to the orderly administrated city-state and lands surrounding. The Yorubas worked with a wide array of materials in their art including, bronze, leather, terracotta, ivory, textiles, copper, stone, carved wood, brass, ceramics and glass. A unique feature of Yoruba art, is their striking realism-which unlike most African art, choose to create human sculptures in vivid realistic and life sized forms. Elegant Yoruba divination bowl depicting a dove. Wood and mineral pigments.
