10, 11. ORISHA OKO

Fetish:
Orisha Oko resides in a flat porcelain tray with a little pot placed on top.

Ornaments:
He "owns" all farming tools. There should be a horizontal tile and a model of a plow with an umbrella pulled by two oxen next to his fetish.

Power objects:
An achere, or large gourd covered in beads is shaken to call Orisha Oko. It is painted in dark red and white longitudinal stripes.

Collars:
Pink and turquoise. Repeat pattern: seven lilac or pink beads alternating with seven turquoise beads.

Offerings:
Orisha Oko likes everything that is cultivated. Goat, red rooster.

Dances:
Orisha Oko does not "come down". There are dances in his honor, but they do not have a set choreography.
