Beautiful bronze animal figure from Benin. Benin bronzes are probably the most famous bronzes of African art, in front of the Ifé and Owo craftsmanships. This is due to the proximity with the Atlantic coast, which enabled trades with the Portuguese since the 15th century.
Provenance: Manfred Schäfer, former gallery owner from Ulm, Germany.
