Cavalier. - Soninké/ Djenné - Mali

Figure of a rider carrying a spear with a blade dulled by the passage of time. However, the presence of pronounced breasts and a braided hairstyle may evoke an 'Amazon'. The horse is small, because the peoples of the Inland Niger Delta raised and rode ponies before the arrival of the Arab horses that followed the region's conquest by the Fulani. Beautiful patina of use. Shipped by registered Colissimo.
