Artist unknown
Africa
H 42cm W 28cm
An expressive cast bronze head inspired by the traditional royal portrait sculptures of West Africa. The elongated features, stylized ears, serene facial expression, and rich dark patina give this piece a powerful sculptural presence.
The surface displays an attractive aged patina with areas of natural wear, oxidation, and casting imperfections that contribute to its authentic character. Numerous openings and losses throughout the sculpture suggest considerable age or long-term exposure, resulting in a striking decorative object with a distinctive archaeological appearance. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
issues arising from misattribution
