Expressions of naïve art or social caricatures, they are also usually painted in bright and colorful colors. > The Ewe, often confused with the Minas, are the largest ethnic group in Togo. They are also found as minorities in Ghana, Benin, Ivory Coast and Nigeria. According to Hélène Joubert, the cults paid to the Yoruba gods, the orisha , and those of the vodou ,vodun gods, as well as their religious structure, would be comparable in many ways. In addition, slaves from different cultures exported their practices to Cuba and Brazil. Although there is little historical information about the Ewe, it seems that their settlement in their present location was the result of invasions and conflicts that broke out during the 17th century. Antique statue, naturalistic type, shaded with browns. Small damages, desiccation crack.
