Description from the seller
Dogon bronze figure, a ceremonial object crafted by blacksmiths using the lost-wax casting technique.
It features a beautiful, thick antique patina known as “excavation patina,” approximately 30 cm tall including its base, dating from the 19th century or earlier.
In good overall condition; note that antique bronzes are of much higher quality than recent craftsmanship, which is often crude and riddled with casting flaws and errors!
Provenance: Loed Van Bussel Collection, Netherlands
