Fon Vodun fetish figure - SOLD OUT
African fetish from the Fon. We occasionally find fetishes made up of two entwined figures, attached by ropes or pieces of fabric. Classically, we observe a thick crusty patina obtained as a result of repeated libations made by the diviner and his client using chicken blood, other animals and various decoctions whose ingredients are kept secret.
These fetishes must serve different purposes according to the wishes of the client.
