EWE
FETISH 1
36.5" high
$2000

This piece, although impressive, is probably not an authentic fetish but rather a contemporary invention.

The Ewe fetishes, which acquire power through consecration and the addition of special substances, serve to protect their owners from misfortune, disease or evil spirits.
