"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.
