Fetish figure - Ewe - Togo

Fetish, Ewe culture, Togo. H. 29cm

Mysterious Voodoo Ewe fetish from Togo. The face is touching, beautiful and alive. The character seems concentrated, upright, waiting. A duck skull is attached to its belly. Magical charges are placed underneath. A padlock is also attached to it. It serves to seal the request made to the gods. The composition is successful, minimalist and direct. The body is reduced to a long trunk. It is covered with a beautiful dry crust of offerings. An old and authentic Voodoo collection work. Circa 1960.
