 Sculpture, 'Ocean Mother Goddess'
$177.95

Practiced in South America since slaves were brought over from Africa by the Portuguese, it combines Yoruban practices with Roman Catholic imagery. The orix�s are the forces of the earth; song and dance are a form of worship and the dance impersonates the god. Hugo Negrini crafts an image that is both beautiful and ethnographically correct. He first carves the image in wood, taking as long as 50 or 60 days depending on the degree of details in the piece.
