I can explain how some of the Edo's religious beliefs are visible in their artwork.
Muuji qoraalka
Some of the objects held by the British Museum can tell us about the Edo's religious beliefs.
One brass statue is a head, decorated with animals, that was used during worship of the god Osun.
Osun was the Edo god of medicine and magic and was believed to command the animals of the rainforest.
The head represents how the Oba was believed to have magic powers like the gods; the birds represent prophesy.
The snakes represent Osun's soldiers and the Oba's ability to use magic to destroy his enemies.
