The Highest Priestess at the Shrine

The Highest Priestess of the Scacred Grove of Osun-Osogbo at the shrine inside the forest.
Alongside the shrine there is a large collection of pieces of art by Susanne Wenger (known also by her yoruba name Adunni Olorisa). She was an austrian artist who relocated in Nigeria and became very sick. She was cured by a local priest and converted to the yoruba religion, later becoming a priestess. Her body of art is known as "new sacred art" and consists of sculptures and carvings mostly located inside the forest, a Unesco World Heritage Site that she helped protecting and giving a new life.
