Description from the seller

Togo
Ewe culture
Fetish statuette
Wood
Height: 40 cm

Intriguing Voodoo fetish statuette from Togo. The figure is alive. Its pose is assertive and powerful. The face is expressive, with a restrained smile, in reserve. The gaze is straight and deep. There is a special and powerful aura around this female figure. The patina is beautiful and ancient. The wood and the blood-crust patina are well oxidized, proof of the antiquity of this fetish. Cracks, sold as is. An ancient and authentic Voodoo cult object. Circa 1950.
