Description from the seller

Large fetish, Ewe culture, Togo. Height 62 cm

It’s an intriguing and captivating fetish.
It seems to float, to levitate in the air.
Its body, a simple trunk, is hidden by fabrics in the colors of Vodou. Red, white and black.
The expression on its face is strange and troubling. It seems astonished, its gaze fixed on parallel worlds.
It watches us. It has an undeniable presence.
It was planted on the ground in a Vodou 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 Vodou ritual object. Circa 1960.
