AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

There is no provenance of the statuette, so its origin and age can only be estimated.
The statue is made of rusted iron (fer noir), also covered in rust crusts. In Blandin's book "Fer Noir," its spaghetti-shaped arms and round head most closely resemble the statues from Bandiagara on page 77.

Will be packaged with the utmost care and shipped insured with T&T.
