Who is Oyá and why does she need a sopera?
Oyá is the Orisha of the winds, storms, lightning and the gates of the cemetery. She's a fierce warrior and the companion of Changó. In Lucumí practice her sacred stones are kept inside a covered sopera, and her colors and decorations reflect her strong, changing nature.
What size is it?
This sopera measures approximately 10 by 10 inches. It fits well on smaller shelves, so measure your space before ordering.
