Caribbean, Haiti, ca. 1970s CE. A pale blue silk banner covered on the front aside from a narrow border with brilliantly colored sequins. These are arranged to form a horned anthropomorphic figure who holds a head atop a cross in one hand and a sickle in the other. This figure is probably Bosou (Bossou), associated with lightning, fertility, and protection, and characterized by having horns.
