AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Most Dogon jewelry adornments were made of iron because bronze was rare. This figurative pendant stands out for its original composition: a character with oblique legs leaning against a horse. This artifact likely belonged to a person of high social rank.
Very beautiful used brown patina.

Height 7 cm x Width 7 cm x Thickness 0.8 cm Weight 49 g

Registered Colissimo shipment.
