This image displays page 12 of an anonymous 20th-century Afro-Cuban cultural document, labeled "Fig 220". The Spanish text details a proverb connecting Ekue with the world's existence ("without Ekue and without sun there is no world") and explains how Ekue, the spirit, bound the Bonkó of the Efik people, thus transmitting Ekue's essence to this group. This plate is part of a collection documenting esoteric and ritualistic aspects of the Abakuá secret society, often associated with anaforuanas.
