AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Benin
Fon
Wood, nail, sacrificial patina.
Height: 255mm
Width: 85mm
Depth: 140mm
Voodoo fetish statue.
Sacrificial patina. The magical charge at the rear moves slightly.
Among the most well-known productions of the Fon are the Botchio, fetishes used for the protection of villages, lineages, and individuals.
Many ornaments are used to awaken one's tutelary power. During voodoo ceremonies, the fetish priest pours or spits various libations (alcohol or palm oil, chicken blood) as offerings on the voodoo fetishes to intercede with the god, which gives them a characteristic crusty patina.
Parcels are sent from Monday to Saturday with a tracking number.
Chronopost delivery takes 1 to 3 days in France and 2 to 5 days throughout the European Union. Delivery to the rest of Europe and the rest of the world is via Colissimo International.
