Description from the seller
Bronze Stylized Donkey Sculpture – Elongated Tribal Form
A distinctive and elegant sculpture depicting a stylized donkey, crafted in solid bronze with a warm, aged patina. The piece features an elongated neck and minimalist body, combined with finely engraved decorative bands, giving it a refined tribal / ethnographic aesthetic.
The proportions are intentionally exaggerated, creating a slender and vertical silhouette that enhances its decorative presence. Subtle engraved motifs around the neck and torso add cultural character, while the simplified legs and expressive head reflect a handcrafted, artistic approach.
This type of sculpture is often associated with African or Middle Eastern-inspired decorative art, appreciated for its symbolic and sculptural qualities rather than strict realism.
Condition: Good overall condition with visible patina and minor wear consistent with age; stable and intact
Material: Bronze
Dimensions: approx. 28 × 11 × 5 cm
Weight:. 1 kg
Origin: Middle East
Period: Late 20th century
A refined and characterful decorative object, ideal for collectors of ethnographic art or as a minimalist statement piece in modern interiors.
