GAN STYLE FETISH 8, Burkina Faso

GAN, FETISH 8, 9" high, $200, Burkina Faso

Despite its appearance, this figure was probably made to be sold.

We know little about these enigmatic figures from the Gan people. There are some similarities with sculptures from the neighboring Akan, Fon and Ewe peoples.
