Fetish couple - Voodoo Vodun - Ewe - Togo

Couple, Ewe culture, Togo. H.48cm

Intriguing and powerful fetish. Vodou offers us here a mysterious work, immersing us in an unknown and complex universe of which only the protagonists hold the keys to understanding.
What presence for these two characters. They seem alive and real. There is a dramatic tension in their postures and expressions. Their faces are hard and closed. They are linked by cords around their waists as well as by a fabric collar. A magical charge is placed between them. The patina is superb, rich, and complex. A mix of blood, blue and white pigments, and other magical substances. Sold as is, with cracks and damage. See the photos, they are part of the description. A beautiful, ancient, and authentic Vaudou cult object. Circa 1960.
