Artist's commentary:

Eleggua: The great trickster who owns the crossroads. He enables mankind to communicate with the other orisha and is always honored first. Some say that there are 256 distinct paths of Eleggua, and these correspond to the 256 odu in the Ifa Corpus. (Interestingly, the human eye can distinguish between 256 shades of grey.)
