Sopera 65 is one of our tallest soperas for Oyá, about 12 by 26 inches. It's a bold piece for a bold Orisha.
Why a large sopera for Oyá?
Oyá is the force of the storm, the whirlwind and the lightning. A tall sopera gives her a commanding presence on the altar and leaves room for her otanes, her tools and the adornments her children add over the years.
Who is Oyá?
Oyá, also called Yansa, rules the winds and guards the gates of the cemetery. She's Changó's fearless companion, and in Cuba she's syncretized with the Virgen de la Candelaria, honored on February 2.
