description: "Obalufon Alayemore, also referenced as Ọbalùfọ̀n II or just Alayemore, was the Third Ooni of Ife, a paramount traditional ruler of the Ife Empire. He succeeded his father Obalufon Ogbogbodirin. Obalufon Alayemore was forced out of power by Ooni Oranmiyan and later returned with the help of local residents to reclaim the throne. After his death, he was deified and is now revered as an Oriṣa, the patron deity of art, weaving, bronze and brass casting, mononymously referred to as Ọbalufọn in the Yoruba religion."
