The Georgetown University Library's own exhibition record for "Sacred Arts of Orisha Traditions," shown at the Booth Family Center for Special Collections in 2017, drawn from nearly forty years of collecting by Joseph M. Murphy, the Paul and Chandler Tagliabue Distinguished Professor of Interfaith Studies and Dialogue. The record catalogues the "Las Siete Potencias Africanas" lithograph, accession L.2017.2.31, and names its eight paired figures, the santos shown captioned with their Yoruba names.
