Jinadu Oladepo, (ca. 1923-) the brother of Ashiru Olatunde, was a blacksmith who began creating lost wax brass statues as a way of augmenting his income. Soon he dedicated himself totally to making hundreds of cast brass figures, pendants, rings and bracelets. Here we see examples of the three former items. He instills his subject matter of animals, human figures or fish with humor and sophistication, encrusts them with a lively surface decoration and combines them in many different configurations. Oladepo resides in Oshogbo, Nigeria.
