Enchanted Shango West African Orisha - Folk Art Guitarist Figurine | Hand-Carved Wood | Metta-Blessed™
A striking hand-carved wooden figure of a guitarist, complete with braided jute hair and raffia skirt detail.
This vintage carving comes from a West African coastal workshop (likely Ghana or Nigeria), dating to the 1960s tourist/curio trade.
The figure’s raw energy and expressive carving style capture the spirit of rhythm, music, and storytelling — an essential part of West African culture.
Carvings like this were created to celebrate music and sold to travelers, often symbolising the connection between everyday joy, ancestral traditions, and the divine power of song.

“Through the strings and rhythms of this carving,
the power of Shango is invoked —
awakening joy, creativity, and protection.

infusing your life with music, strength, and passion.”
