Bowl with Figures, Artist: Olowe of Ise (c. 1875-c. 1938), Yoruba peoples, Ekiti region, Nigeria, Early 20th century, Wood, paint Sculptor to kings, Olowe of Ise is still honored among the Yoruba. His praise song says that he could carve iroko wood as though it was as soft as a gourd. The delicacy and dramatic composition of this bowl exemplify his talent, which embodies the standards of Yoruba art in iconography and proportions yet pushes them to their limits and redefines the rules. This prestige bowl, owned by someone of high status, likely held kola nuts, a traditional gesture of hospitality presented to guests and offered to deities during rituals.

Yeah he was. I don't know who was better between him and Lamidi Fakeye.The Fakeye family is probably the most famous family in the field of art to ever come out of Yorubaland
Olowo of Ise must have been very wealthy as well because he sculpted for Kings and he sold a lot of his works to the whites
Most of his works are in Europe.He was from Ekiti
