AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Classic Tiwara Bambara statue symbolizing an antelope. Hard wood and a good patina from aged residues. It was probably washed with water originally (common if it is to be preserved for a long time). Notable are the metal adornments, with excellent ancient natural oxidation. A fine sculpture with knife-work details and traces of kaolin, as well as holes and other details wrought in hot iron. Height: 50 cm.

Seller's Story
