Dimitri André

Croix Vaudou Fon : bois, cordelettes, tissu, cauri, mirroir, os d'animal dans le dos. Patine d'usage ( sang, bleu de lessive, Kaolin..). Le personnage semble porter une capuche devenue crouteuse par l'accumulation de libations. Le personnage penche un peu vers l'avant, donnant l'impression que la croix est trop lourde à porter. Loin du standard esthétique des objets confectionnés pour être vendus et artificiellement patinés, ce fétiche s'impose par sa force brute.

Objet collecté in situ dans un couvent vaudou au Bénin. Garantie d’authenticité et d’usage rituel.

Hauteur: 31 cm 
Poids: 450 gr
