HERZILIE FREDA
-
Description
-
Flag / Banner. Herzulie / Erzulie The flag has red ribbon (satin border) around it, a multi-color half square triangle sequin border and in the center is a picture of St. Mary. The picture is covered in plastic and sequins are sewn around it. Other number: 128 Haitian flag makers will sometimes sew chromo-lithographic prints of the Catholic saints into their works. Each saint corresponds to a different loa or spirit. Freda is a somewhat tragic figure who longs for romantic love and fine things—hence her association with the bejeweled Our Lady of Sorrows.
