卖家的描述
Turkana 铁盾,铝把手 – 肯尼亚 – 现地收集
Details
Origin: Turkana people
Country: Kenya
Materials: Iron, aluminium
Dimensions: H 91 cm
Overall height with stand: 103 cm
Provenance: Collected in situ by the present owner in Kenya in the early 1990s
Presumed age: Mid- to late 20th century
Description
Large Turkana shield in iron, distinguished by its unusual aluminium handle. Collected in situ in Kenya by the present owner in the early 1990s, this piece stands out for the purity of its elongated hourglass form, its remarkable symmetry, and the strong visual tension of its profile.
The oxidised surface has developed a rich, nuanced patina, enhancing both its authenticity and sculptural presence. The central raised spine reinforces the structure and gives the shield additional rhythm and strength.
A powerful and highly decorative example of later Turkana metalwork, combining function, elegance, and presence.
Condition
Good overall, with age-related oxidation, surface wear, and minor irregularities consistent with use and age. Structurally sound.
Included
Custom black steel stand included.
