The ancestral Sàngó, in Yoruba chronology, was the fourth king of ancient Oyo town who is regarded and revered as a major deity of the indigenous religion of the Yoruba people. He is popularly known as the god of thunder, fire and lightening as these are the natural forces associated with him. On his hand is his most prominent ritual symbol called Oshe, a double-headed battle-axe which is a symbol of war and justice. Beneath his feet is a devotee prostrating as a sign of his loyalty. Behind him is a bata drum player praising and cheering him on with music as he wields his power. Notice the dog, which is also a strong spiritual symbol in Yoruba culture, beside him. The worship of Sàngó is still common in parts of Yorubaland today.
