Fetish Couple Ewe, Togo
1 200€
Double figure representing twins or a couple, the two characters side by side. They are tied up and encircled in fabrics impregnated with sacrificial materials. A strange object in the shape of a cap surrounded by red fabric hangs on their backs. We notice a cowrie of the Fa attached to a cord which surrounds the load and a very old thread of honey-colored pearls. Nice plastic solution, the whole producing a great effect of power. Wood with dry patina with traces of kaolin.
