This object is a “Seated Edan Ògbóni/Òsùgbó Figure (Male).” It features a male figure with an elongated torso, seated on a base. The figure has a distinct, large circular head with pronounced facial features, including large, deep-set eyes and full lips. The figure’s arms are folded at the waist, and it wears a necklace and a belt-like adornment around the waist. The surface of the sculpture has a textured, aged appearance, suggesting it is made from metal, likely bronze. This type of figure is typically associated with the Ògbóni or Òsùgbó society, a traditional institution among the Yoruba people, symbolizing authority, wisdom, and judicial power.
