Satatu, a Yoruba ceremonial statue from Nigeria, dedicated to Shango, the god of thunder.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Yoruba statue from Nigeria.
Satatu
Very beautiful ceremonial satatu of the Yoruba of Nigeria. It is a work dedicated to Shango, the god of thunder, as the form of the satatu indicates to us. Shango was a king of the Yoruba kingdom of Oyo, known for his battles; he was elevated to the rank of a god after his death.
The Yoruba gods are called Orishas; they are found even in the Caribbean and in South America, and they are the basis of the religions "Santeria" and "Candomble".
