Beautiful Fon Voodoo fetish from Benin. Height 33 cm.

The figure seems rooted to the ground. It is seated in a posture filled with strength. Its aura is powerful, undeniable. It derives its source from the invisible world of spirits. No one can defy it.

The figure is made of wood covered with a crust of blood and offerings. The surface is strange, adding to the dramatic power of the piece. Chains adorn its neck, cowries on its chest. It sits on a stool. The whole is harmonious. The patina is beautiful, a blend of blood, earth and other magical substances.

Sold as is, see photos. An ancient and authentic Voodoo cult object. Circa 1950.
