Designed like a staff, the image of the shango or spiritual doctor is impressive. In ancient times, the Abeokuta people of Nigeria would use the shango with people suspected of lying. They were made to swear to it, and if they failed to speak the truth, it was believed that lightning would strike them. Bright Kofi Agbetey hand-carves this admirable wall sculpture from sese wood, adding painted details and a heavily weathered finish.

This is such a wonderful Shango staff. I use it in my religious ceremonies. It has such a wonderful color and intricately carved!

The giraffes are sweet while looking dignified. The stain is a rich brown, the carving is well done, and its solid without being heavy. A romantic gift for some one who likes giraffes.

Got this for my wife for her birthday several years ago and it still gives pleasure in viewing it, and it draws lots of compliments from guests at our home.
