Yemaya Asesu Sopera with Silver Mermaid Handles, also known as a Sopera de Yemayá Azesú, is a large ceremonial vessel finished in glossy light blue with polished silver-toned accents and two sculpted mermaid side handles. Its ornate raised scrollwork, fitted lid, reflective pedestal base, and marine-inspired design make it an elegant centerpiece for a Yemayá Azesú altar, spiritual space, or decorative collection.

This model measures approximately 15 inches high by 13 inches wide, including the handles. It belongs to the same coordinated Orisha sopera series as our navy-blue Yemayá and white Obatalá versions, with color and handle styling adapted to each Orisha.

Large Sopera de Yemayá Azesú in Light Blue and Silver

The light blue color gives this sopera a distinct identity within the Yemayá family and visually separates it from the darker navy Yemayá model. The silver mermaid handles reinforce its ocean-inspired character while maintaining the same formal body style used throughout this coordinated collection.

Religious preparation and ceremonial use vary by house and lineage. This listing is for the physical sopera only; any consecration, sacred contents, or ritual preparation should follow the guidance of the appropriate elder, godparent, or priest.

Traditional and Decorative Uses

For a Yemayá Azesú Altar or Sacred Space

The light blue and silver finish makes this sopera a distinctive focal point for a carefully prepared space dedicated to Yemayá Azesú.

For Ceremonial Use

In some religious houses, soperas are prepared to hold sacred items associated with an Orisha. The correct preparation, contents, placement, and use should always follow the customs of the practitioner’s lineage.

As Spiritual or Religious Décor

This piece may also be displayed as decorative religious art in a home, botanica, consultation room, spiritual workspace, or private collection without ceremonial preparation.

Care and Handling

Because this is a large decorative vessel, move it with both hands while supporting the body and base. Do not lift the full piece by the lid finial or mermaid handles. Clean with a soft dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth and dry immediately. Avoid abrasive pads, harsh chemicals, and impacts that could damage the glossy or metallic finish.
