"Scepter Shango Yoruba From Nigeria"
An oshe shango, or wand of dance, is worn by the faithful at the annual festival of Shango, the god of thunder and lightning. The double-bladed pattern on the head of the figure represents a thunderbolt, coupled with Shango's sudden, overwhelming and unpredictable power. The female figure who casts lightnings on her head represents a devotee of the god. Rare scepter from an important collection of high quality.
