With samba music kicking in and the chorus singing her name in Yoruba, Mami Wata appeared wearing the hottest, newest cloth in Ouidah with de Souza's image all over it.  The masquerade-snakes and all-is derived directly from the snake-charmer chromolithograph (Article 4)." 

"The two Mami Wata masquerades stood out the most at the Bouriyan characters present at a vodun festival.  the first was influenced by the snake-charmer chromolithography had long blond hair, sports sunglasses, and wore cloth printed with de Souza's image.  The second combined the imagery of that chromolithograph and that of another depicting the three-headed Hindu god Dattatreya, known in India as the triple giver (Article 4).
