This is an African Voodoo Skull replica. West African Voodoo (a.k.a. Vodun) is practiced by the Fon people of Ghana, Nigeria, Togo, and Benin. All creation is considered divine in Vodun. Skulls, bones, and statues are often used as talismans (a.k.a. fetishes) and are believed to have healing properties. Contrary to popular belief, voodoo fetishes are not regarded as being evil or bad omens. They are symbols of good luck and spirituality. You will receive the item pictured, which is approximately 22.5 inches tall from the bottom of the base to the tip of the horns. The skull is approximately 12 inches wide and 18 inches long.
