The Pantheon:

Deities of West Africa

There is no more powerful female entity than a Goddess and there is no continent more magical than Africa. “The Pantheon” collection showcases the female deities from the tribes of Nigeria. These pieces are about aura perception; each deity radiates her own ruling and power. Someone once told me that when they look at my women, they imagine that this is how God sees the world.
