Fetish statuette - Voodoo Vodun - Ewe - Togo

Intriguing and captivating voodoo fetish statuette from Togo. This male figure radiates a special aura. The face is closed, its expression is impassive and hard. The mouth is pinched. The gaze is straight and deep. Its pose is assertive and powerful. It seems determined. A cavity is present at the level of its belly. Was there a magical charge? Should an object be placed there to activate the fetish? Only its owner knows its real function.

The patina is beautiful and ancient. The wood and its blood-crust patina are well oxidized, proof of the fetish’s age. Cracks, sold as is. An ancient and authentic Voodoo cult object. Circa 1950.
