The tribal art and antiquities sale at Woolley & Wallis in Salisbury on February 19 includes a 8in (20cm) Yoruba Ijebu bronze hand bell or omo.
Each Yoruba chief had a face bell cast, which was later worn by his son draped over the right shoulder. This example has the double crescent to the forehead and scarifications from the mouth: symbols of the Oshugbo secret society that is prominent in the Ijebu region.
