AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The Sao are not strictly speaking an ethnicity.

It is a civilization, now extinct, that occupied a geographical area extending between Cameroon, Chad, and Nigeria between the 12th and 14th centuries.

This very beautiful little bronze is of course inspired by Sao's very beautiful works.

The horse is magnificent, and the two warriors have their heads wrapped in a chèche, just like the Tuaregs of today.

The depiction of the horse is extremely refined.
