Description from the seller

A large fetish, Ewe culture, Togo. H. 62 cm

This is an intriguing and captivating fetish. It seems to float, levitate in the air. Its body, a simple trunk, is hidden by fabrics in the colors of Voodoo: 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 Voodoo shrine. The patina is rich and complex. Sold as is, see photos. They are part of the description. A beautiful object of ancient and authentic Voodoo cult. Circa 1960.
