Description
Yemanja is an orisha, originally of the Yoruba religion, who has become prominent in many Afro-American religions. Africans from what is now called Yorubaland brought Yemaya/Yemoja and a host of other deities/energy forces in nature with them when they were brought to the shores of the Americas as captives. She is the ocean, the essence of motherhood, and a protector of children.kind of a sequel to AGWE

The shell as a sailor cap, brilliant.
The boat with the water flowing from her fingers, I also like that quite a bit. Like the touch on the hair making them look like tentacles. All of it's executed exquisitely. Great work with the white silhouettes of animals and things in the background, also.
