This Obatala Statue is made from resin, standing approximately 4 inches tall, finished in white, the smallest and most affordable statue in this collection.
Obatala is honored in real, currently practiced Yoruba devotion as the Sky Father and creator figure, long recognized for wisdom, purity, and protection; this statue is a devotional or decorative item for a personal altar or an existing practitioner's ongoing practice, not a shortcut to formal initiation or priesthood, which in real Yoruba and Santeria/Lucumi practice comes only through initiation by a trained santero, santera, or babalawo.
What this statue reliably delivers is a genuine, compact resin piece built around Obatala's customary white symbolism and his role as Sky Father, not a shortcut to formal initiation or priesthood.
In Yoruba practice, Obatala is honored as the Sky Father and creator figure, long recognized for wisdom, purity, and protection, and white is his customary color, chosen here for the statue's finish rather than an invented design choice. At approximately 4 inches tall, this is the smallest and most affordable statue in our Santeria/Orisha and Santa Muerte lineup, a compact size suited to a shelf, desk, or a smaller altar space where a larger centerpiece wouldn't fit. Its resin construction holds Obatala's calm, still pose and white finish clearly, and because that finish can fade with prolonged sun exposure, keeping it indoors or in a sheltered spot helps preserve its detail over time. This statue works well both as a first piece for someone beginning to build a personal altar and as an accessible addition alongside larger, more detailed statues in an existing practice.

Place the statue on a clean altar or shelf, keep it indoors away from direct sunlight, and wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth.
