Palace door

This palace door shows the king riding a motorcycle and a horse, holding a sword and a pistol, smoking a pipe, and accompanied by two people carrying boxes full of trade items. Other scenes illustrate women pounding grain or holding offerings. The door was carved about a hundred years ago by the famous Yoruba artist Areogun of Osi and is meant to show that all aspects of society are functioning well due to the king’s ability to rule and provide for his people.
