This handmade bell was made to call upon, pray to and channel the energy of Oshun. Oshun also spelled Osun, is an orisha (deity) of the Yoruba people of southwestern Nigeria. Oshun is commonly called the river orisha, or goddess, in the Yoruba religion and is typically associated with water, purity, fertility, love, and sensuality. She is a very powerful orisha.

Several myths exist concerning Oshun and her significance as a Yoruba deity. In most Yoruba stories, Oshun is generally depicted as the protector, savior, or nurturer of humanity. The Oshun River is in Osogbo and a festival is held yearly in her honor. This bell was purchased at a market in Osogbo, Nigeria.
