Ogoun Feray carries an iron saber and wears a red sash. Ogoun Feray is the god of war and metals, pioneering, intelligence, justice, medicine, and political power; these are associated with the symbol of the tool that can advance humans mastery over the environment. Ogoun Feray is impetuous, authoritarian, cautious, hardworking, suspicious and a bit selfish. Ogoun Feray fights to win, he is the essence of every fight, and he is present wherever there is war, discord, or the manifestation of war. Whatever you seek from Ogoun Feray, you can trust that he will work continually until he wins.

This piece is hand cut from recycled 50 gallon steel drums. Both ends of the drum are removed and placed inside of the remaining cylinder along with scrap paper, dried banana or sugar cane leaves. It is set on fire, to burn off any paint or residue. When cooled, the drum is cut down the side and flattened out to create a "metal canvas" of approximately 3' x 6', upon which the design is drawn. Using hammer, chisel and various primitive tools, the shape is cut and the various decorative patterns are pounded into the metal, creating a unique and treasured piece of primitive art. The finished design is coated with a protective finish. Can be hung indoors or outdoors.
