Originating from the Yoruba people of Nigeria, the Agere Ifa is a carved container used in the sacred Yoruba ritual of Ifa divination, particularly for storing the sacred palm nuts used in the process. The term “Agere Ifa” translates to “divination bowl.” The figures supporting the bowls often reflect hopes for prosperity and gratitude. Motherhood is a sacred and prominent theme in these carvings, symbolizing fertility and the sustenance of life.
