Iansã is the goddess of wind and hurricanes.  This doll is clothed in her ritual colors, red with a copper crown.  The crown features a chorão or “crybaby.” According to Rumbondo Amilton Sacramento Costa, the chorão represents the goddess’s tears of joy.  In Yoruba land, the beaded strands are on the crowns of  monarchs and they hid the kings face but also protect the people and the land from the intensity of the king’s gaze.
