Bisi Fakeye (1942 - 2017), last of fifth generation dynasty of sculptors

The depletion of about one and half century-old-dynasty of carvers, the Fakeye, may be difficult to replenish. Within a period of eight years, three members of the dynasty - across two generations - Lamidi (1928-2009), Sola (1971- 2016) and Bisi (1942 - 2017) have passed on.
