Ewe Fetish Male Statue, Togo

Male figure standing with short legs apart in a position of strength. The head with the well-sculpted expressive face rests on a powerful neck, the pecs, shoulders and shoulder blades processed into a single rounded volume, the arms folded along the body. The curve of the buttocks responds to the shoulder blades. Very special hand position with the handles folded back and the palms back. Beautiful plastic solution with a perfect mastery of shapes and volumes, the whole producing a great effect of power and strength.
This rare and exceptional object for the power it gives off is charged with a thick sacrificial patina, proof of its ancient and repeated use.
