• Sculpture, 'fire God  ^new
  

  PRICE: 109.95

  Garbed in fiery crimson and crowned in gold, a dancer's lavish ceremonial costume is festooned with beads and cowry shells. His whirling dance pays tribute to Xang�, the energy in fire. Oy� is the orix�, or "god" of thunder and lightning, venerated in the Candombl� religion, which is widely observed in northeastern Brazil. The name derives from kandombele, a Congolese-Angolan word meaning "to pray." Practiced in Brazil since slaves were brought from Africa by the Portuguese, it combines Yoruban practices with Roman Catholic imagery. The orix�s are the forces of the earth; song and dance are a form of worship and the dance impersonates the god. Hugo Negrini crafts an image that is both beautiful and ethnographically correct. He first carves the image in wood, taking as long as 50 or 60 days depending on the degree of details in the piece. When the statuette is ready, he makes a silicone rubber mold, and casts the sculpture in resin.
