A beautiful selection of statues to represent Santerian and Voodoo Gods, Goddesses and Orishas.

Item #SO031: Statue,
Orisha Chango

One of the most celebrated of the Orisha, Chango (or Shango), is revered as the Sky Father; a spirit and god of thunder and lightning. As such, he is often viewed as the chief spirit and power within Santeria, and many other faiths with a Yoruba background. Having culture and ceremony that is perhaps the most intact from the middle passage, Chango is also viewed as a symbol of African resistance against an enslaving European culture. Before he was deified, he was actually the third king of Oyo, in Yorubaland, land and is celebrated for bringing prosperity to his lands, during his life. His worship is said to bring power and self control to his followers, as well the prosperity and protection that he can confer. /br>Here he is portrayed as a powerfully muscular African man, wearing the crown that marks him as King. Wearing the colors that are his symbol, he is dressed in deep red robes, cinched together with a white belt, and is armored in numerous cowrie shells. Viewed as a powerful protector, the mask of Elegua, the Orisha of trickery, is also left by his feet, along with five cowrie shells. A powerful representation of the Sky Father, this statue of Chango is perfect for your altar, or in decorated your home. It measures approximately 15" high, not including the axe that can be removed from his hand, and 7" wide, and is sculpted in cold-cast resin and natural cowrie shells.

Item #SO673:
Oshun Statue

Oshun, the Orisha of love, maternity, and marriage is a powerful, and frequently revered part of Cuban Santeria and Yoruba culture. She is known as a powerful force of harmony, particularly that which we can sense as beauty, love and pleasure. She is also seen as the only female to have been part of the world`s creation, and as such is particularly favored as a mother figure. These benevolent aspects combine with the fact that she is generally seen as among the most likely to answer a prayer to make her one of the most favored among the Orisha.

With such a wonderous entity, this statue has a lot to live up to in trying to capture her image. She is portrayed here as a lithe woman of beauty, fanning herself with a feather fan with flowers and pumpkins offered by her feet. Scantily clad in a small top and a flowing, divided skirt, she seems fully at peace with her surroundings, and does indeed live up to the beauty she represents.

This statue stands approximately 13 3/4" tall and 6 1/4" wide elegantly sculpted of cold cast resin, making it well suited for veneration upon your altar as well as simply bringing this figure of beauty and grace into your home.

Item #SHOLD12:
Holy Death/ Santisima Muerte Statue

The Most Holy Death, also known as Saint Death, is widely revered in South America, particularly Mexico, as a figure who receives petitions for protection, love, and good luck. Though condemned as a pagan tradition by the Catholic Church, she is still often revered as Saint who will receive offerings and prayers, with some seeing her as a form of the Virgin Mary. Here she is presented in a traditional fashion, depicted as the Grim Reaper with a skull face, concealed in a black mantle and robe. In one hand she holds the reaper`s scythe and in the other she holds a clear glass globe, representing her ability to see and aid in your pleas. Made of cold cast resin, this statue stands 13" high and 6 1/2" wide.
