Exu Morte Statue from Brazil
Exu Morte is a specific manifestation of Exu, a complex and multifaceted entity drawn from Quimbanda , an Afro-Brazilian religious tradition with roots in African, Indigenous, and European spiritual practices. Exu is often considered a messenger, guardian, and intermediary between the human world and the spiritual realms. Unlike the more neutral or even mischievous aspects of Exu, Exu Morte specifically represents death, protecting suffering souls and helping in their travels from one side of the veil to the next.
This statue shows Exu Morte as skeletal figure draped in a flowing black hooded cloak and holding a scythe, an iconic symbol of death. Exu Morte is positioned in a Christ-like manner, with open arms mimicking opening up in a cross-like embrace.
The statue stands on a black base, inscribed with the words "EXU MORTE" in gold letters, and is around 9 inches tall and 7 inches wide. This hand-painted plaster statue was made in Brazil and is signed by artist I.Bahiamr and was purchased in Lisbon, Portugal.
It is a limited edition 20/955. The statue has a few small chips in the paint and comes as-is.
