Old anthropomorphic fetish with crusty patina

Tanzania, Zigua people
Middle of the 20th century

The fetish represents a seated man, legs bent, arms pressed against the body, hands atrophied. The quadrangular head has two deep orbits framing a small, blunt nose overhanging a thin mouth with half-open lips. Large horseshoe-shaped ears, a thick and smooth headdress forming a helmet, the top of the skull receiving a summit cavity. The body is surrounded by a long cord of vegetable fiber.
