Object description :

"Old Janus Figure Fon Cult"
Heavily eroded wooden janus figure, male and female side. Kudio type of Bochio, also called “guardians” are thin pole-like figures. They function as a sort of “lightning conductor” , as the figure is meant to be a substitute for the living person. The figure must attract evil forces and so spare its owner(s). Provenance: 19th to early 20th century, Fon people, Republic of Benin, collected by Ann De Pauw and Luc Huysveld
