$1200.00 DucksSOLD 
item #502Haiti - Haitian This fully beaded flag was made by JBJJ. It is not a traditional design and does not represent any deity or participant in the Haitian religion of Vodou. It is a great and beautifully decorative example of the art form. | $950.00 Erzulie heart flagSOLD 
item #500Haiti - Haitian This flag was made by the well respected artist, Valris, in Haiti. It features beads and sequins. The heart is the symbolic representation of Erzulie, the Virgin Mary in her role in the Haitian interpretation of the Christian religion of Vodou, also known as "Voodoo". The mistaken ideas that many have of this word have led those to unfortunate conclusions regarding the true nature of the religion. This striking flag measures 26 x 35 1/2". |
