Item Description
A voodoo flag represents a visual prayer. The workmanship in each flag is very beautiful and evocative symbolic communication, worthy of some reflection. It has been suggested that these flags are an outgrowth of Catholic icons, combined with the pain and ange of slavery. Created one sequin at a time, each stitch is a silent prayer. The finisned flag is an emblem of spiritual resolve within a fabric an dbeaded skin which presents a constellation of beauty and brilliance.
Kafou also called Carrefour and Kalfou represents the dark of night. He contols the evil forces of the spirit world and controls the entrance of bad luck, misfortune and injustice into the world. He is symbolized by the crossroads.
The flag is 16"x16"
