About the Piece

In Trinidad and Tobago the Moko-Jumbie is a Traditional Carnival Character depicting a spiritual guardian
which, according to West African folklore, is able to foresee danger due to its incredible height and thus
protect the people. In this painting, the "Moko" is represented as a Guardian Angel.
