This is a large and ornate mazo for Obatala Oshalufon. It has eight houses, each featuring a different mother of pearl centre bead. Oshalufon is the Obatala that is married to Yembo. He is one of the four guardians enlisted by Olofin in the creation of the earth. The mazo uses Czech glass beads in white, "soap" (alabaster), silver, silver-lined crystal beads, mother of pearl and bone.
