Èù (also called Èlgba) embodies the most complex deity in the Yorùbá pantheon of gods. The messenger of the Yorùbá gods, Èù is also the bearer of sacrifices, guardian of the ritual way of life, and is associated with highly significant places including crossroads, markets, and home entrances. As seen here, Èù's power is often visually represented in Ògò Èlgba (dance staffs); in this example, the unusual paired man and woman reference his ability to switch between the two genders, turn death into life (through childbirth), and to overcome the tension between the sexes. The male character bears a ritual flute reserved for this god. The abundance of cowrie shells means that Èù brings wealth.A Turkey.Tiger and Monkey. Japan, 18th century. Costumes; Accessories.

Slip-painted ceramicChessmen (32) late 18th-early 19th century Indian The British have red jackets and green bases, the Indians green jackets and red bases. Both kings consist of an elephant with mahout, and a rajah with a second figure in an open howdah. The queens are similar, except that neither figure is a rajah. On the camels, as bishops, are a Hindu on the red side and a John Bull-like figure on the green. The knights are horses, and the rooks are boats, an Indian one with a pagoda-like awning and a British cutter with mast and rudder, both with small figures. The Hindu pawns hold swords and wear pleated skirts; the British pawns are infantrymen with muskets.The use of boats instead of chariots is a somewhat late innovation in Indian chess, found in a few other Oriental countries, Siam and Annam, for example. The only European country in which it occurs is Russia, a phenomenon for which no very convincing explanation has yet been produced. Trade connections with India were, however, established in tShamanic Mask 1890. These mask were used to make Shamans more powerful and ordinary people could invoke animal spirits. .
