Powerful and rare Fon voodoo fetish. 
This powerful and rare Fon voodoo fetish, associated with witchcraft, is composed of a figure, a goat skull, and two animal jaws placed on the sides. The metal chain linking the figure to the skull ends in a padlock and an amulet. A magical charge, apparently composed of vegetation, is fixed to the back. Two other padlocks are attached at the level of the feet.

A dark patina covers the whole, the result of the multiple offerings made to the fetish. It is not an object manufactured to be sold. Object collected on site, guaranteed authentic and ritually used. Provenance collection JC Moschetti
