  • Temne Mami Wata Sculpture, Sierra Leone
  • A carved wooden effigy of the Water Goddess Mami Wata, in Mermaid-like form.
  • Measurements: The figure measures 21 inches tall on a professional custom display stand.
  • Condition: Excellent, well handled
  • Mami Wata is often described as a Mermaid-like Figure, with a woman's upper body (often nude) and the hindquarters of a fish or serpent. In other tales, Mami Wata is fully human in appearance (though never human Herself).
  • The Existence and Spiritual Importance of Mami Wata is deeply rooted in the ancient Tradition and Mythology of the coastal southeastern Nigerians (Efik, Ibibio, Igbo, Bahumono and Annang people).
  • Mami Wata often carries expensive baubles such as combs, mirrors, and watches. A large snake (symbol of Divination and Divinity) frequently accompanies Her, wrapping itself around Her and laying its head between Her breasts.
  • Other times, She may pass as completely human, wandering busy markets or patronizing bars. She may also Manifests in a number of other forms, including as a man. Traders in the 20th century carried similar beliefs with them from Senegal to as far as Zambia. As the Mami Wata Traditions continued to re-emerge, Native Water Deities were syncretized into it.
  • While commonly seen with a mirror in Her hand, Mami Wata is able to embody Ritual Performances and Worship Ceremonies for Her Followers through this instrument. Her mirror represents a movement through the present and the future; Her Devotees are able to create their own reality through imaging of themselves in their own recreation of Mami Wata's World. In this World, one can embody Her sacred powers, fulfilling the inventions of their own reality
  • Traditions on both sides of the Atlantic tell of the Spirit abducting her followers or random people whilst they are swimming or boating. She brings them to her Paradisiacal Realm, which may be underwater, in the Spirit World, or both. Should She allow them to leave, the travellers usually return in dry clothing and with a new spiritual understanding reflected in their gaze. These returnees often grow wealthier, more attractive, and more easygoing after the encounter.
  • In Nigeria, devotees typically wear red and white clothing, as these colors represent that particular Mami's dual nature. In Igbo iconography, red represents such qualities as death, destruction, heat, being male, physicality, and power. In contrast, white symbolises death, but also can symbolize beauty, creation, being female, new life, spirituality, translucence, water, and wealth.
  • The Mami Wata Shrines may also be decorated in these colors, and items such as bells, carvings, Christian or Indian prints, dolls, incense, spirits, and remnants of previous sacrifices often adorn such places.
  • Custom mount/ stand included.
  • Origin is Temne People, Sierra Leone, West Africa.

Shirt worth buying several times
Size: XX-Large, Color: Anthracite Polo Stripe
Purchased another of same order and have found them to be excellent. Comfort, sizing, and quality. Can be dressed up or dressed down and they look great either way. Worn in very hot weather and have not been oppressed by sweat. Nice. Will be purchasing more. Sizing was great. Loose and long enough to land just right over pants pocket top.

Great Quality and Comfortable Fit
Size: Large, Color: Washed Blue
I picked up the Amazon Essentials Men’s Golf Polo Shirt, and I’m really impressed. The fabric is soft, breathable, and lightweight — perfect for hot days on the golf course or casual wear. The fit is spot-on, not too tight or too loose, and it looks sharp tucked in or out. It’s held up well after multiple washes without shrinking or losing shape. For the price, it’s excellent quality and a great value. If you need a reliable, comfortable polo for sports or everyday wear, this one is a solid choice. Highly recommend!

Good quality, but runs a bit short
Size: X-Large, Color: Light Grey Heather
Overall, this is a solid polo for the price. The fabric quality is better than expected, with a nice balance of softness and durability. It’s not paper-thin, but not heavy either, and it does a good job wicking moisture and drying quickly, which is exactly what you want from a golf-style shirt. Functionally, it works well for casual wear, work, or being mildly athletic without committing to actual exercise. Sizing is mostly on point, and I didn't notice any shrinkage after washing, but I always make sure to air dry this type of material and not throw it in the dryer. My only real gripe is the length. It feels like the shirt should be about 1–2 inches longer. If you raise your arms, people may catch a glimpse of your six-pack (hopefully), and if you bend over… well, let’s just say you'll want to be mindful of who's behind you. If Amazon fixed the length, this would be an easy five-star staple.
