Description
A beaded ritual composition with a stylised frontal figure.
A frontal figure with a heart-shaped face, composed entirely of beads and sequins in bold colours — yellow, black, red, green — presented in a mount within a black frame.
Vodou flags, or drapo, are the most emblematic art form of Haitian Vodou: originally carried during ceremonies to salute the spirits, they have become sought-after works, exhibited notably at the Fowler Museum of the University of California (UCLA). The introduction of sequins, around 1940, is attributed to the artist Joseph Fortine.
