Seeking a world where life can take root, Ọbàtálá descends by a golden chain with a snail shell of sand, a palm nut, a black cat, and a hen (or cockrel). He pours sand onto the waters, and the bird scratches it outward, forming the first land, Ilé-Ifẹ̀, often translated as “the place of expansion.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eỌbàtálá then moulds human beings from clay. After drinking fermented palm wine, he continues shaping them in many different forms; when life is breathed into them, variety enters the world, and he vows care for those born different.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eSome versions also place Odùduwà alongside Ọbàtálá as a co-founding force, expanding the land and establishing the foundations of human civilisation, a shifting balance used to explain why creation holds both harmony and turbulence.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis is a one-of-a-kind original artwork.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"1822\" data-start=\"1819\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor pricing and acquisition enquiries, please contact us directly via studio@adeche.com\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"adeche","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45711704522913,"sku":null,"price":30891.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/9582\/0961\/files\/Adeche_Shapedfromearth.jpg?v=1771767906","url":"https:\/\/adeche.com\/en-au\/products\/shaped-from-earth","provider":"adeche","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
