EWE, FETISH 4, 31", $2000, Ghana

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.

The large cracks (details requested) are all stable and give a better idea of the actual color of the wood and patina. The other details have a little more light to show better the shadow areas.
