Orishaoko Painted Clay Pots

The small clay pot of Orisha Oko in Santería (the Orisha tradition) serves fundamentally as the physical representation and receptacle of this Orisha on earth. Orisha Oko is the Yoruba deity of agriculture, harvests, cultivated land, and prosperity. 

• Seat of the Deity: Inside this clay pot, which is usually painted with red and white stripes, are housed the secrets, attributes, and tools (stones or otá) that represent Orisha Oko.
• Attraction of Prosperity and Sustenance: By welcoming Orisha Oko and tending to their small clay pot, one seeks financial stability, abundance, a good harvest in business, and daily sustenance.
• Health and Strength: They are invoked to obtain physical strength and the ability to work the land (or one's own projects) to reap benefits.
