AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Fetish, Fon Culture, Benin. H.20cm

Captivating Fon Vodun statue from Benin. The figure is firmly rooted to the ground, stocky and compact. It looks at us proudly, straight and powerful. The face is expressive, there is emotion. It bears a clearly visible sex organ, highlighted. The patina is superb, rich and complex. Sold as is, the photos are part of the description. A beautiful object of ancient and authentic Voodoo worship. Circa 1960.
