Description

wood, base

With such wands in their hands, the followers of the mighty thunder god “shango” participated in dances, processions, and rites in honor of their deity. When not being used, the staffs are used to decorate shrines dedicated to “shango”.

The double ax is a representation of neolithic stone celts (“edun ara”) that the Yoruba believe to be thunderbolts hurled from the sky through lightning by “shango”. The double axe is therefore a primary symbol for the presence and omnipotence of “shango”.
