Although in Yorubaland they are different, in the Afro-Cuban traditions the batea de shango and the batea de orula are very similar, this can cause confusion, but there are distinctive features that make choosing a batea for each orisha.  Usually the Shango trays come with representative engravings of this saint, whether they are trays carved with axes, lightning bolts or in the form of castles, these are mainly the fundamental pillars that differentiate the Shango tray from the other, although there are models of simple trays. they can be used for the two deity.  Such is the case of our cheap plain bateas that are used for both shango and orula.
