SHANGO DANCE WAND 32
17" high

This Shango dance wand has been vetted as authentic with signs of use and age. It was a wedding gift to the Hamills and is not for sale.

In special festivals and processions, followers of Shango, the Yoruba god of thunder, carry dance wands, oshe shango, depicting a female devotee with Shango's symbol, the double-headed axe. Shango is thought to control the great powers of nature as one of the orisha, or gods.
