Title: Chamba Bronze Figure.
Maker: Unknown.
Period: 20th Century.
Origin: Nigeria.
Material: Brass or Bronze.
Description: A standing figure that comes from the Chamba people. Shows stylistic affinities to the Wurkum and Mumuye to the north. A good example of Chamba sculpture: The cubist style of the body and bold rounded head with a heart-shape are considered attributes of Chamba style.
Measures: 11 H x 4 W x 4 D inches.
Weight: 2 pounds, 6 ounces.
Notes: Little is known of Chamba sculptures. The Chamba are a small group today living south of the Benue River in Northern Nigeria in an area of mixed art and influences. Much of what's known about the Chamba is resultant of exchange between the Wurkum and Mumuye peope, as mentioned above.
