The Eko is composed of smoked edible rocks. The rocks are used for eating and spirituality.
This sample was found at the Oyingbo Market. It is an ultramodern market complex located in Oyingbo, a metropolitan city in Ebute Metta area of Lagos State. The market is one of the oldest and busiest markets in Lagos thereby contributing a large quota to the economy of the state.
We had a great moment eating this sample at the AAF (African Artists Foundation), in Lagos, Nigeria. African Artists’ Foundation (AAF) is a non-profit organisation dedicated to the promotion and development of contemporary African art.
