Statues of women among the Yoruba often show them kneeling, holding a bowl, called an "aguere ifa". Her tall, detailed blue hairdo is meant to enhance her beauty, as is the detailed blue scarification on her back. The Yoruba equate beauty with moral superiority. Her position is a strong reflection of her huband's hard work and accomplishments and his generous support.
