Description
Fetish with libation horn
Wood, buffalo horn, fabric, old traces of splattered white pigment, signs of wear
Fon, Benin
64 x 18 x 17 cm
The body, entirely wrapped in fabric, lends this fetish an enigmatic and almost sculptural presence, reminiscent in some respects of the wrappings created by the artist Christo. This accumulation of materials and layers contributes to the object’s protective and ritual power, reinforced by the libation horn and the traces of sacrificial splashes.
