Este artigo trata dos padrões e imagens dos tabuleiros de adivinhação ifa usados em Isale-Oyo (Nigéria), bem como de outros objectos religiosos associados. Argumenta-se que os tabuleiros ifa de Isale-Oyo têm características que os distinguem de outros tabuleiros ifa da região yoruba, como os de Ijebu e Osogbo. A descrição e a interpretação da iconografia dos tabuleiros de adivinhação constituem o foco deste estudo. Os dados discutidos foram recolhidos através de entrevistas a proprietários de tabuleiros de adivinhação e fotografias de tabuleiros. Conclui-se que:Os tabuleiros de adivinhação de Isale-Oyo combinam traços dos tabuleiros de Ijebu e dos tabuleiros de Osogbo.A figura de Esu continua a ocupar a posição central superior nos tabuleiros de adivinhação de Oyo, embora se registem variações na sua representação noutras zonas do território yoruba.Alguns tabuleiros de adivinhação de Oyo não possuem qualquer decoração nos frisos, e nalguns casos recentes vêm sendo utilizados na adivinhação pratos de cerâmica.
