Description from the seller

Grand fetish, Ewe culture, Togo. H.58cm

It is an intriguing and captivating fetish. It seems to float in the air. Its body is a simple trunk hidden by fabrics in the colors of Vodou. Red, white, and black. Its facial expression is strange. It has a mischievous look. Its smile questions us about its intentions. Its gaze is illuminated. It observes us calmly. It is a piece that leaves no one indifferent. This fetish stake was planted in a Vodou worship site. The patina is rich and complex. Sold as is, see photos. They are part of the description. A beautiful object of ancient and authentic Vodou worship. Circa 1960.
