Sculpture Fon Fetish AAA1276

A ritual artefact from the Fon culture

Originating from the Fon tribe in Togo, the Fon Fetish AAA1276 sculpture is a 20th-century voodoo artefact. It symbolises an indefinable mystical power characteristic of fetishes. In their traditional context, these objects were imbued with energies during rituals. Versmissen presents this rare piece while preserving the essential elements of its cultural and spiritual identity.

Fetishes could bring together various components, such as stones, horns, bones or substances considered impure. Activated through sacrifices, they were used to provide protection, influence destiny or attract prosperity and fertility. This sculpture is made from a combination of wood and clay. Its natural beige colour and dimensions of 10,5 x 11,5 x 19 cm complete its description.
