Product Description Osé Shango scepter

Rare and beautiful scepter named Osé Shango. Shango is the god of thunder and lightning. Shango is recognizable by the decoration in the shape of double ax he wears on his head. This scepter is very successful with the quality of the sculpture representing a kneeling woman holding a cup in her lap, and because of  the beautiful geometric figure that covers its head with  the symbol of Shango. Nice crusty patina. Shango is both feared in the context of justice and magic and venerated as his manifestations bring beneficial rain for crops. It is also the symbol of strong sexuality.
