Description from the seller

This piece depicts a Sao horseman fashioned in metal and adorned with leather, in the pure tradition of ancient African art.

The rider, with a deliberately pared-down style, stands proudly atop his mount, embodying the power and prestige that the horse symbolized in Sahelian cultures.

The geometric and elongated shapes recall the minimalist and symbolic aesthetic unique to the Sao civilization, while the rough textures of metal and leather evoke both artisanal authenticity and the patina of time.

The ensemble exudes an aura of strength, history, and spirituality.
