THE INSPIRATION Baba is a tribute to Obatalá, eldest Orisha, father of creation, sculptor of human form. He carries both authority and deep compassion · a force of stillness that guides without urgency and protects without force. Like the cool white cloth that cloaks him, this piece is a reminder that serenity is not absence. It is the deepest kind of strength · clarity held so steadily it becomes light. THE MATERIALS Mother of pearl · for purity and radianceCowrie shells · for protection and abundanceGlass shards · for resilience and transformationClear crystal points · for vision and intentionAbalone shell · for harmony and the ocean's song Each element mirrors Obatalá's presence: radiant, cleansing, and infinite. THE DETAILS Edition of one. Made once by Njeri's hands, never repeated. Encased in a white leather pouch with Njeri's hand-dyed fabric. Fits a standard Bic lighter. *Lighter not included.* A vessel of light ·where purity meets creation, and flame becomes prayer.
