Altar of Oba is a pillar structure that pays homage to the spirit animals of the ancient Benin kingdom. It blends influences from mask making, and indigenous masquerade costumes, to create a manifestation of a multi-species being that embodies the spirits of the 3 animals that are revered in Benin cosmology - the bird of prophesy, the mud-fish, and the leopard.
