This is a very tall female altar figure from the Fon people of Benin. Has a typical Fon face, with a very elongated body, and short legs.  The patina is thick with ceremonial libations,  particularly at the head and upper body.  Good collectable condition, with some erosion, particularly at the base.  We guarantee this item has been tribally used. Height approx  60cm
