Dimitri André

A Venavi/Hohovi win couple, Ewe, Togo/Ghana, carved out of light wood, she is standing on her two fragmentary feet, legs sightly apart, arms falling to the side of her abdomen which finish off into her slightly indented fingers, her small neck carries a rather large head considering the proportions of her body, within which lies expressive features of a small mouth a prominent nose and almond shaped eyes, there ears are large and her hair, painted black, is pulled back; glossy patina by ritual use.

Lit.: Bernard Bardouillet (Société des Missions Africaines), a collecté auprès de François Gbedevi.
