This handmade voodoo libation bottle is dedicated to the loa (or spirit) Erzuli Freida, the loa (or lwa) of love. It has silver sequins covering a blue satin bottle with the heart design. Under the cap is a cork that is also lined in a light delicate pink. She enjoys eating sweets of all kinds, and her favorite drink is champagne. Her Catholic counterpart is Our Lady of Sorrow, who is often depicted with her hands on her heart.

Libation bottles are used as devotional altar pieces in Haiti to honor a particular lwa, or spirit of human or divine origin that were created by Bondye (God) to assist the living in their daily affairs and allow access to the divine.
