Product description
Rare African figurine in brass or bronze alloy, cast using the lost-wax technique, vintage manufacture from the 1950s-1970s, Fon, former kingdom of Dahomey, Benin, depicting two stylized figures on a wooden base. One figure represents a high-ranking person or dignitary, accompanied by a servant. The entire piece rests on a rectangular base of antique wood, to which the figures are attached.
The figurine measures approximately 14 cm high, 13 cm long, and 7 cm wide. It is in very good overall condition, with an old crack under the wooden base, not extending through except at the rear end, which does not affect its stability. The patina is even. Approximately 500g.
