ArtistAn accurate depiction of an Obeah servant of a witch, fashioned from wood, bronze, and gourds for work in the fields. A monkey’s departing soul manifests as a controlling spirit. Eyes on the mask are closed, and the puppet sees through the painted third eye. Long, sharp fingers for threshing millet, disengage the puppet’s second pair of arms. A branch from a cemetary tree fools the soul into thinking of the Puppet as a final resting place.
…creator, these puppets are usually utilised for menial tasks and are kept out of sight. Folk tales tell of a time when the witch kings would rase whole villages with witch puppets leading packs of cackling hyenas, the cracks of whips cutting the dusty night air"
