Small contemporary voodoo fetish - Benin

Contemporary wooden Voodoo fetish. A figure covering its ears, coated with kaolin with underlying traces of laundry blue. A small magical charge is hidden beneath the cloth and the cords. Voodoo is in perpetual change, hence the introduction of contemporary elements like this mobile phone, which embodies modernity in traditional practices and symbolizes a means of direct communication with the spirits.

Object collected from a Voodoo convent in Benin, guaranteed authentic.
