Description:

|
Carved sheet metal sculpture of a woman wearing earrings and a necklace, surrounded by several other characters. At the upper left is a tree-like shape, from which several snakes escape. The Gédés (Guédé) are the family of Loa (spirits in Vodou) that embody the powers of death and fertility. Baron Samedi's wife, Grande-Brigitte (Maman Brigitte) has authority over all the cemeteries. Mother of all Gédés and all the dead, she is also a brilliant lawyer who is consulted for justice and reparation. Chef and father of all the Gédés, undisputed master of the cemeteries, Baron Samedi (Saturday) is a Loa (also called Iwa) to whom one speaks during the difficulties of the life. They have been syncretized with various Catholic saints. (Source: Musée du Quai Branly-Jacques Chirac [website]; http://www.quaibranl y.fr/en/)
