Product Description
This striking large metal sculpture by Charles Eneld, a renowned Haitian artist, is a powerful example of traditional Vodou iconography expressed through recycled metal artistry. Hand-cut and forged from repurposed steel, the piece showcases the rich spiritual symbolism woven throughout Haitian culture.
At the center, the trumpet evokes Lasirèn, the enchanting mermaid spirit of the sea, known for her beauty, mystery, and musical allure. Below, the serpent represents Danbala, the revered ancestral loa symbolized by purity, creation, and divine protection.
A prominent drum, one of the most sacred instruments in Vodou ceremony, speaks to its role in calling and honoring the spirits. Scattered across the ground are etched X-shaped pwen, symbolic power points believed to activate and charge the surrounding spiritual space.
Also depicted are Erzulie Bossou and Ago, further enriching the piece with layers of cultural and spiritual depth. Each figure and motif is rendered with Eneld’s characteristic precision and expressive detail, creating a dynamic narrative in metal.
This sculpture is not only a visually captivating work of art but also a meaningful representation of Haitian spirituality, mythology, and craftsmanship. Ideal for collectors of Haitian art, folk sculpture, or spiritually significant works, it stands as a unique and powerful statement piece.
