The flag is published in the book Spirits in Sequins:  Vodou Flags of Haiti by Nancy Josephson (p. 104).  She writes:  “Roro’s Danthor uses the chromolithograph as a starting point.  The tremendous use of differemnt sequins in the same color family to depict a shaded, more three-dimensional idea is Roro’s ultimate signature.”
