Oshun Sopera with Gold Peacock Handles, also known as a Sopera de Oshun, is a large ceremonial vessel finished in glossy yellow with polished gold-toned accents and two sculpted peacock side handles. Its ornate raised scrollwork, fitted lid, decorative pedestal base, and coordinated yellow-and-gold finish make it an elegant centerpiece for an Oshun altar, spiritual space, or decorative collection.
This model measures approximately 15 inches high by 13 inches wide, including the peacock handles. It belongs to the same coordinated Orisha sopera series as our Yemayá, Yemayá Azesú, and Obatalá versions, with color and handle styling adapted to each Orisha.
Large Sopera de Oshun in Yellow and Gold
The glossy yellow body and rich gold-toned trim create a distinctive Oshun presentation. The sculpted peacock handles are integrated into the sides of the vessel and visually distinguish this model within the 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 an Oshun Altar or Sacred Space
The yellow-and-gold finish makes this sopera a strong focal point for a carefully prepared space dedicated to Oshun.
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 peacock 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.
