Intriguing voodoo fetish from Benin. This is a bust of a figure carved from dense wood, surrounded by fabrics in the colors of Voodoo. The facial expression is captivating; its eyes are protuberant, its gaze is piercing, and it bears a sardonic smile. On its head sits a metal bowl. The piece is minimalist and powerful. The patina is rich, a blend of various offerings—blood, alcohol… An ancient and authentic Voodoo cult object. Circa 1950.
