Marie Laveau Plaque - Wood Finish
$17.95
We sculpted this Marie Laveau Plaque, another original piece available only here. It was hand-painted with a gilded finish, and measures approximately 6.75 by 4 inches. This is American made and brand new! Please note: since this item is hand-painted, it will vary slightly from the one featured in our photo here. Be sure to check our other original Marie pieces - the pewter Marie Buttons, Keyring, and Cameo with black lacquer inlay!
Marie Laveau (September 10, 1801 - June 16, 1881) was a Louisiana Creole practitioner of Voudou renowned in New Orleans. Of Laveau's magical career, little that is definite can be said. She was said to have had a snake she named Zombi after an African god. Oral traditions suggested that the occult part of her magic mixed Roman Catholic beliefs, including saints, with African spirits and religious concepts.
