The woman is a Priestess in the Candomble religion of Brazil. She is a
priestess to Oshun, who is the Orixa to the Deepest Waters and Mud as well as femininity and
fertility. This Priestess searches what is in the depths of the waters of the river as she wades
into the river to collect the water and bless it. During my nstay in Brazil I was able to witness
several Candomble ceremonies.
