Arowoogun Traditional Carvers
In the heart of Osi-Ekiti, Yoruba land, the Arowoogun Traditional Carvers have preserved the legacy of wood carving for five generations. Each piece, crafted through four precise stages, transforms raw wood into sacred objects like Agere bowls, Ibeji figures, and ceremonial masks. Rooted in Yoruba tradition, their work honors deities, ancestors, and the spirit of the craft, connecting artisans and communities to their heritage.
