Cavalier - What - Kotoko - Chad (No reserve price)

In African craftsmanship, the riders, usually made of bronze, are worn as talismans, patinated and polished by rubbing. The warriors depicted on their mounts have their heads wrapped in a headdress identical to that of the Tuaregs.
Subjected to successive assaults from their neighbors in Kanem and then to hordes coming from the East, the Sao had to abandon their lands to settle in the northwest of Cameroon, where they mixed with the indigenous people, giving rise to an ethnicity called Kotoko. More than an ethnicity, the Sao are a civilization now extinct. They were found between the 11th and 14th centuries in a geographical area spanning the borders of Chad, Cameroon, and Nigeria. This bronze, inspired by the finest Sao achievements.
