Description from the seller

Voodoo, Ewe culture, Togo. H.33cm

Voodoo offers us here a mysterious work, plunging us into an unknown and complex universe whose keys to understanding are known only to the protagonists.
This Ewe fetish from Togo is intriguing and captivating. The expression on the face is powerful and disturbing. The figure seems astonished, its gaze fixed on parallel worlds. The body upright, it watches us. On its abdomen is placed a magical charge. One can also see a duck skull as well as many padlocks. It is covered with a crust of blood. Its body is strange; it has no legs and its arms seem to be wings. A mythological being. The patina is superb, rich and complex. Sold as is, see photos. They are part of the description. A beautiful old and authentic Voodoo cult object. Circa 1960.
