The Ori Olokun Head, a bronze depiction of Oduduwa from Ife, is a despition of one of eighteen copper alloy sculptures unearthed in 1938 at Ife, Nigeria, historically the religious and royal hub of the Yoruba people. It holds significant meaning for Isese Yoruba adherents and gained iconic status as the emblem of the 1973 All-Africa Games in Lagos. Over time, it has been adopted as the symbol for various commercial, educational, and financial institutions, becoming a universal representation of African heritage.

The head is made using the lost-wax technique. The artist designed the head in a very naturalistic style. The face is covered with incised striations, but the lips are unmarked. The headdress suggests a crown of complex construction, composed of different layers of tube-shaped beads and tassels. The crown is topped by a crest, with a rosette and a plume that is now slightly bent to one side.
