Soperas made for Obbá are much harder to find than those for Yemayá or Ochún. This one, about 10 by 10 inches, gives her otanes a home of their own.
Who is Obbá?
Obbá (also written Oba) is the Orisha of marriage, loyalty and sacrifice. In the patakí she is Changó's devoted wife, and she's known for her deep emotional strength. She lives close to the cemetery with Oyá and Yewá, and she's received by fewer people, which is why her soperas are rarer.
What size is it?
About 10 by 10 inches, a compact size that fits on most shelves and canastilleros.
Why buy your sopera from El Viejo Lázaro?
We've supplied Miami's Lucumí community since 2003 and keep soperas for Orishas that many stores skip, like Obbá. See it in person at 5800 W Flagler St or order online.
