Unusual Oshe Shango-Shango Dance Wand/Staff

This Shango dance wand is unusual in colour – it is charcoal/Black  in colour. It is an amazing sculpture which has the immediately identifiable Shango axe headdress. Shango was - and in some parts of Africa and the West Indies is still viewed as the god of thunder.

The carver has carved a devotee holding her breast signifying fertility. It’s a wonderfully crafted item. Prominent earrings and scarification marks have been carved with wide open eyes and stylised features typical of Yoruba carvings.

This is a high quality well carved (see photos) oshe sango.This is an excellent item for anyone practising the Ifa religion.

This has been carved in Nigeria fron a single piece of wood.

This item can be used effectively by an Ifa priest/diviner or by an Ifa Devotee.  

This would be a great addition to a Shango shrine or anice piece of Yoruba art  for collectors of African art.

This item is 48cm (18.9inches) in height and 21.5cm (8.5inches) at the widest point.
