Mama D'Leau

Mama D'Leau

Mama D'Leau, also known as the Mother of the River, protector and healer of all river animals. According to the folklore of Trinidad and Tobago, she usually appears as a beautiful woman with long, golden hair who sits on a rock at the river's edge. When angered, Mama D'Leau becomes serpent-like with each strand of her hair turning into a living snake. An armour of shining scales covers her upper body and arms, and from her waist downwards twists into coils. Her tongue becomes forked and she holds a golden comb which she passes through her snaky hair[1].
