Fon voodoo cult object, Benin Glass bottle, wood, composite materials, cowries H. 35 cm Provenance: Etude Gaïa, sale June 26, 2008, reproduced under lot 277 Glass bottle covered with a thick crusty patina associated with cultic libations, two small effigies held together by the barrel. Voodoo worship takes the form of an infinite number of objects, which "can only come into play once they have been sacralized. They are the plastic sign of divine affirmation, and their lifespan depends on their use. (In. Vaudou, Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain, Paris, 2011, p. 13)
