This handcrafted cement head represents Eleguá, the guardian of crossroads and the opener of all roads in the tradition of Santería / Ifá. The face is traditionally formed with cowrie shells, symbolizing sight, speech, and spiritual awareness.
Eleguá is honored as the messenger between humans and the Orishas and is always greeted first in spiritual work. This representation can be placed on an altar, near the entrance of a home, or in a sacred space to honor and connect with his protective and guiding energy.
