Description
Ọ̀ṢẸ̀NGẸ̀ṢẸ́ is a sculptural representation of Òrìṣà Ọ̀ṣun, the revered Yoruba river goddess associated with freshwater, fertility, beauty, love, healing, prosperity, and the nurturing power of the feminine.
The figure portrays Ọ̀ṣun in a distinctly Yoruba artistic language, seated with a child on her lap, a powerful symbol of motherhood, fertility, protection, and continuity. Her elaborate hairstyle, rendered in the stylized form common to classical Yoruba sculpture, together with the yellow ornaments, beads, and facial markings, evokes the visual language of Yoruba sacred art and the colours traditionally associated with Ọ̀ṣun.
The name Ọ̀ṢẸ̀NGẸ̀ṢẸ́ gives the work its own identity, suggesting an encounter with the sacred presence and enduring spirit of Ọ̀ṣun. More than an object of beauty, the statue represents a relationship between mother, child, river, community, and divinity.
It is a visual reminder that the waters of Ọ̀ṣun are not merely physical. They carry memory, spirituality, ancestry, and life.
It stands at 2 feet 11 inches tall and 6 inches wide
