Fon - Lot 239
Fon Benin An important three-headed “bocio” sculpture, a protective object associated with the Voodoo religion. Fragments of animal bones—jaws, monkey skulls, and feathers—are attached to the wooden sculpture. Crescent-shaped iron pieces symbolize the rainbow, lightning, and thunder—attributes of the god Hevioso. A thick layer of sacrificial blood with embedded cowrie shells. See: Voodoo, Fondation Cartier, Jacques Kerchache Collection Private collection, Paris H. 44 cm
