Important Fétiche "Aklama" Adan Adangbé
Ghana

25 cms


Bibliographie; 
"Aklama,Helping spirits of the Ewe and Dangme People from the Study collection of Horst Antes".

Les fétiches Aklamas sont des objets rituels du culte vaudou utilisés par les Ewé et les Dangme du Ghana, à la lisière du Togo.
Ils sont généralement matérialisés par de petits personnages , des animaux, des accessoires du quotidien, ou des sièges, en bois léger.
Ces statuettes sont chargées d'intercéder auprès des diverses divinités appelées à offrir aux croyants, protection, chance et prospérité
tout au long de leur vie personnelle et familiale ainsi que dans leurs activités quotidiennes (chasse, commerce).


Ces statuettes Ade représentent les diverses divinités liées à la chasse, qui sont aussi communes aux Yoruba et Ewé.

Concernant leur usage, ces objets se retrouvent sur les autels particuliers, mais nous avons déjà vu des photos les représentant regroupés dans un panier et revêtus d'un morceau d'étoffe, à la manière des Vinavi des Ewé.
