Velma Rosai-Makhandia statement about the work below:Babalawo is a keeper of secrets — a healer, diviner, and custodian of ancient african wisdom.The work evokes the quiet power of those who mediate between the visible and the unseen,carrying knowledge that guides, heals, and protects.The piece thus serves as a protective talisman for the home.
