Damage to the upper portion may have motivated the reshaping of the top of this panel, which was probably the left-hand side of a full-sized door.

Olowe decorated the door with motifs associated with Ifa divination. The lower register has an Ifa divination board on which four faces of Eshu, the messenger god and the god of chance, are depicted. This motif would have been repeated in the missing top register. The central panel depicts eight birds that are symbols of communication with the spiritual realm.
