Ogun (warrior and spirit of metal and work) Derecho basket made from half a large gourd, loosely covered in a rich green cloth which is loosely glued at the bottom of the gourd. A gold braid and gold sequins are glued around the edge, and shells glued at the outer edge. Four sets of three shells are glued at the axes of the basket, on the inner edge. The basket was on exhibit in the Rhythms of Identity exhibition at the Smithsonian Latino Center (2000). The goal of the RI collection was to provide context for Afro-Cuban musical instruments. Most items were bought in Cuban botanicas and are mass-produced religious items.
