An Orisha is a spirit that reflects one of the manifestations of God in Africa’s Yoruba religion. Many Orishas have found their way throughout the Americas via the Atlantic slave trade and are now expressed in practices as varied as Santería, Candomblé, Trinidad Orisha, and Oyotunji.
Obatala is the eldest orisha and the father of all the orishas, he created the world and the humanity that reside within. Obatala always dress in white to reflect his spiritual purity, white is thus the most sacred color in Santeria because of its’ representation of Obatala. He acts as a protector for those who do not yet know their guardian orisha, and encourages his believers to be patient and to handle matters with calm and reason. Obatala watches over the his believers and his duty is to to maintain peace and restore balance to the world.
This statue is beautifully designed, sculpted and handcrafted to the finest detail in cold cast metal (Bronze/pewter) finish.
