一个木质雕塑 - venavi - Ewe - 多哥 (沒有保留價)

一件来自多哥西南部的雌性埃维 Venavi 形象。锈色光泽的镀层，显现仪式使用与年代痕迹。\n\n"The Ewe, who live in southern Togo and Ghana are the eastern neighbors of Asante. They are probably best known for their textiles and also for small wooden dolls called \"venovi\" or \"venavi\" which are used like the Yoruba people in Nigeria used Ibeji twin figurines, for protection of survivor after death of a twin. Some scholars state that they are also used as children's dolls as well as sometimes used as fertility dolls by women who keep these dolls under their mattresses or were worn under the skirts of young women to ensure fertility. Scarifications and added clothing and strings of beads reveal family and clan religious and social affiliations.\" 来源：ISN'T S/HE A DOLL.\n\nMAZ08274
