The Orisha Obatala T-shirt

This t-shirt celebrates the Orisha Obatala, Father-Mother of Humanity, King of the White Cloth, Bringer of Peace and Harmony, Owner of all uninitiated heads and Father of the Orishas. He stands for wisdom, patience and justice. He also reminds us to respect our elders. Obatala is often prayed to by those dealing with court cases and legal matters; Obatala aids the innocent and punishes the guilty. He is the god of peace and purity and aids all heavy thinkers like doctors and lawyers.
 
Once a strong warrior who witnessed terrible acts of violence, this patient and compassionate deity provides kindness to those who pray to him. He is widely respected as a fair and patient judge. He is portrayed as an older man in white robes holding a staff or torch
