The mated make and female pair with classical simple faces and torsos covered with empowering materials essential to Vodun, such as string, wire, metal and miniature figures. The figures and fetish charges remarkably intact and in fine condition. The figures each standing on a plinth, once the top of a post inserted into the shrine, now eroded below the carvings. On custom bases.
Provenance: Property of a New York private collector
