Description

This description has been translated and may not be completely accurate. Click here to see the original

A statue depicting a standing male figure. The construction, based on a cylinder, alternates angular and round shapes. This statue is characterized by its two-tone red and white color, dividing the figure in two from top to bottom in a non-symmetrical manner. The red arm was carved with the statue, while the white was added.
These statuettes were used for domestic purposes and were placed on family altars. The figure presented here could be "Agevi," the spirit of a great hunter (missing a limb) who symbolizes mysticism.
Note the traces of offerings on the top of the head. The cult of these statues may be associated with voodoo.
