Erzulie Danto Ponya, a ritual dagger used in Haitian Vodou, especially in the Petwo nation. Each is unique and arrives in a beautiful box. The ponya is 13 inches long and entirely hand-decorated with high-quality glass rhinestones in the traditional blue and red colors of Manbo Ezili Dantor / Erzulie Danto / Ezili Dantò. The designs include hearts, veve-inspired motifs, and protective Petwo patterns.
These daggers are crafted and decorated by an initiated Oungan Asogwe, in accordance with long-standing ceremonial aesthetics and respect for the lwa. They are ideal for altars, shrines, fet, Petwo work, offerings, ritual display, or as a powerful devotional object for those who walk with Manman Dantor, Mother of Haiti.
About Erzulie Dantor
Erzulie Dantor is the fierce and protective mother of Haiti, a central lwa of the Petwo rite. Known under many spellings — Ezili Dantor, Erzulie Danto, Ezili Dantò, Metres Dantor — she embodies righteous rage, sacrifice, protection, and uncompromising love for her children.
Her historical presence is tied to the ceremony of Bwa Kayiman on August 14, 1791, presided over by Dutty Boukman and Cecile Fatiman, a night that ignited the Haitian Revolution. Dantor is honored as a mother who fought to bring a nation into being. She is the flame behind revolt, the iron will of Haitian resistance, the guardian spirit who protects the vulnerable and defends with blades, fire, and ferocity.
