Description from the seller

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

It's 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 voodoo. Red, white and black. The expression on its face is strange. It carries a teasing air. Its smile makes us question its intentions. Its gaze is lit. It watches us calmly. It is a work that does not leave you indifferent. This fetish stake was planted in a Voodoo place of worship. The patina is rich and complex. Sold as is, see photos. They are part of the description. A beautiful old and authentic Voodoo cult object. Circa 1960.
