Object Description

Donor's Notes (Transcribed by Curator, Joachim Homann):
-Bought at Mepo Market, Ibadan. Function not clear
-An Orisha (also spelled Orisa or Orixa) is a spirit or deity that reflects one of the manifestations of God in the Yoruba spiritual or religious system. In the Yorùbá religion, ?àngó (also spelled, Sango, Shango, often known as Xangô or Changó in Latin America and the Caribbean, and also known as Jakuta[1]) (from '=shan, 'to strike') is perhaps one of the most popular Orisha; also known as the god of fire, lightning and thunder.
