Figure - Cavalier - Bronze - Lobi - 9,2 cm - Burkina Faso (Sans prix de réserve)

PRIVATE COLLECTION - NO RESERVE I am offering for sale an interesting African collectible - a bronze horseman from the Lobi tribe in Burkina Faso. This unique piece of ethnographic art was cast using the traditional lost wax method, a technique used for centuries by African bronzers. The horseman with his hand raised symbolizes the power, prestige and spiritual protection that the Lobi people attributed to such ritual objects. The object stands out with a beautiful multi-colored patina with natural shades, which is proof of its authenticity and age. The bronze sculpture was made in the first half of the 20th century and represents an exceptional example of West African tribal sculpture. This artistic artifact is ideal for collectors of African art, ethnographic sculpture or as an investment in the growing market for tribal art. The horse as a motif was a symbol of exclusivity in this region of the Sahel, because horses were rare and only owned by the ruling elite. The warrior horseman represents the connection between the ancestors and the living, between the spiritual and the earthly world. This unique vintage bronze is the work of traditional bronze workers from Burkina Faso, a country known for its rich cultural heritage. The object has compact dimensions, allowing it to be placed in a home collection, on a shelf or in a cabinet as a decoration with deep cultural meaning. African bronze sculpture has experienced great interest from international collectors in recent years, and the value of authentic pieces is constantly increasing. **Technical data:** Origin: Burkina Faso, West Africa Ethnic group: Lobi people Material: Bronze (copper-tin alloy) Dimensions: 4.8 cm height x 9.2 cm length x 3 cm width Weight: 90 grams Period: First half of the 20th century (circa 1920-1960) Technique: Cire perdue (lost wax) Condition: Excellent, authentic patina with color tones Motif: Equestrian figure - horse rider with raised hand This original historical bronze is the perfect gift for a lover of ethnic art, African design or for anyone who appreciates authentic works of art with a rich history. The item comes from a private collection and is ready for immediate collection or shipment. The price is fixed and corresponds to the value of similar Lobi bronzes on the international market. If you are seriously interested, you can arrange a personal inspection of the item or send additional detailed photos. The bronze statue will be carefully packaged for safe transportation. Key features of this collector's item: - Handmade production using the traditional lost wax method - Authentic patina indicating age and origin - Symbolic motif of power and prestige - Ideal size for a home collection - Growing value on the global African art market - Unique design typical of the Lobi style - Culturally significant artifact from the Sahel Suitable for collectors of tribal sculpture, ethnographic art, bronze sculptures, West African culture, vintage decorations and investment artwork.
