The Elegua with Open Top is a functional and symbolic spiritual piece used in Santería, Lukumí, and Yoruba-based traditions. Crafted from clay or cement and adorned with cowrie shells, this form of Elegua includes a hollowed top—perfect for placing offerings, written petitions, herbs, or ritual items directly within the Orisha’s vessel. Elegua governs communication, pathways, and divine opportunity, and this open-top figure allows for active participation in those blessings. Whether placed on an altar, at a doorway, or in a sacred space, this form serves as both a protective guardian and an interactive channel for spiritual connection and manifestation.
