Fetish Fon Male Sold
Fon Boccio tribal posts such as this one were placed outdoors and sunk into the earth. Thus, despite their relatively small scale, they manage to gain spiritual monumentality from being fused with the earth and believed in by man.
The aim of these figures was to stand at the entrance of a village, a courtyard, house or shrine and act as a decoy for spiritual forces thus protecting its owner and family. (Hamil)
