Case M2, Drawer 6, Item: Haitian Vodou Drapo / Ritual flag for the Guede Lwa, Bawon Lakwa/Baron La Croix

"This sequined and beaded flag is dedicated to the Haitian Vodou deity or Lwa, Bawon Lakwa. Baron of the Cross belongs to a group of important Lwa called the Guede who govern the dead and sexuality. The presence of the Guede spirits during a Vodou ceremony often signal reprieve from otherwise lengthy and complex ceremonies. The presence of the Guede who dance and speak in suggestive and articulated sensual and sexual gestures remind participants of the fleeting nature of life. Ribald banter between the Guede spirits and worshippers offer moments of levity and joy.

Baron La Croix is represented in Haitian cemeteries by the main cross monument that is often prominent or central to the layout of the cemetery ground. He is also represented by the tomb of the first male buried in the cemetery. Both places are important points of worship and ceremony in Haitian Vodou.

The flag is often kept in the Vodou sanctuary and are used at the beginning of the Vodou ceremonies and events. Hounsi/Ounsi - Vodou initiates parade the flags at the beginning of rituals by draping them on their back and they are accompanied by the ceremonial guard, Laplas/La-place, who holds a sword (pictured in the top left quadrant of the flag). The flag prominently displays the cross, primary symbol and namesake of this Baron; the flag also depicts priests and priestesses (Houngan and Mambo) performing libations and ritual salutations using the ason or sacred rattle and symbol of initiation to the cross.

Other named Barons include Baron Samedi, leader of the Baron clan, Baron Kriminel, and Baron Cimitière." - Martin Tsang, Ph.D., CHC Librarian, Curator of Latin American Collections
