Bursting with character, this animal standing foursquare with his long tail curled back on itself.
Intricately hand-crafted, presumably a tribal sculpture from the African nation of Benin as stated at the auction house where we acquired this interesting piece of folk art.
Details in hand-hammered bronze on wood small pieces attached with small nails and numerous carvings.
Similar objects in this form are examples of Benin art, created from the thirteenth century onwards, by the Edo people, which also included other sculptures in brass, including some famous portrait heads and smaller pieces of art.
Cast bronze.
