Small Fon Voodoo fetish. - Benin

Small Fon voodoo fetish. A wooden carved figure, coated with a thick patina of use that softens its contours and gives it rounded shapes. An imposing magical charge is attached to its back. The front face features cowrie shells and a small amulet. A cord adorned with knots — each knot corresponding to a request addressed to the fetish — passes through what appears to be a small fragment of bone. The head is topped with a small metal structure (assen), symbolizing a link with the world of the ancestors. Authentic, ritually used object guaranteed. It is not an object made to be sold. Height: 28 cm with the iron, 19 cm without.
