Chromolithograph of a snake charmer, inspired by the performer Maladamatjaute (Nala Damajanti). Printed in the 1880s by the Adolph Friedlander Company in Hamburg, the poster gave rise to the common image of Mami Wata, a water goddess of the African diaspora. Reprinted in 1955 by the Shree Ram Calendar Company in Bombay. Public Domain due to age.
