Item Details
Description
  • Item: Yoruba Osanyin Bird Healing Staff
  • Origin: Nigeria, Africa
  • Date: 19th/20th century
  • Dimensions: Mounted, 19 inches

    Yoruba Osanyin Bird Healing Staffs were used during times of illness. They were thought to ward off the spirits that would "drain the life force out of people" thus making them sick. This belief stems from the amount of energy used to form iron into objects, such as this staff.
