Lajuwa, according to tradition, he was a courtier or usurper at the royal palace who attempted to seize the throne of Ilé-Ifè following the death of the king (Ooni). This piece is an exquisite example of the idealized naturalism characteristic of Ife art, featuring refined facial features, full lips, and almond-shaped eyes rendered with remarkable realism. The head displays an elaborate hairstyle or textured headdress adorned with geometric patterns, while the neck features pronounced horizontal grooves representing beauty folds or royal beaded necklaces. Its internal structure is hollow (as visible in one of the photographs), a technique typically employed to ensure the even firing of the clay.
