An Abron brass couple, Ivory Coast, collected in the Koun-Fao region, these small sculptures are normally wedding gifts with the wishes of a longlasting mariage; aged and greenish oxidised patina.

The term "Abron sculptures" typically refers to traditional artworks created by the Abron people, an ethnic group primarily found in Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana. These sculptures are renowned for their distinctive style and cultural significance. The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

One notable example is a 19th–20th-century wooden female figure by an Abron artist, housed in The Met's collection. Standing at 57.2 cm tall, the sculpture is characterized by its elongated form, stylized facial features, and minimalistic detailing. The figure's simplicity and elegance reflect the Abron aesthetic, emphasizing spiritual and symbolic representation over realistic portrayal. The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Another example is a Kulango or Abron male figure from the Ivory Coast, which showcases the characteristic stylized features and proportions typical of Abron sculpture. Bonhams

These sculptures often serve religious or ritualistic purposes, embodying ancestral spirits, deities, or cultural ideals. Their abstract forms and symbolic representations are integral to the spiritual and cultural practices of the Abron people.

If you're interested in exploring more about Abron art, visiting museums with African art collections or researching academic publications on West African sculpture would be beneficial.
