There are 3 artworks that all have the same title “Oshagbo”. The traditional ruler (oba) of the city of Osogbo, Nigeria, holds the title of Ataoja. The name literally translates to "he who stretches out his hand and takes the fish," and it refers to the city's founding legend.
Thank you to Nancy Stein and Edward McDermott for the generous donation of this work.
