Image description

Yoruba palaces comprise several courtyards surrounded by carved figurative veranda posts. This post was probably used on one of the smaller verandas containing a palace shrine. The mounted warrior and kneeling woman, two common themes in the Ekiti region, signify the distribution of power in Yoruba society. The warrior represents military skill, intellectual strength, and physical power.
