Benin Bronze Figure of Oba Nigeria African Miniature SALE Was $210
Title, Benin Bronze Figure of Oba Carrying Staff Nigeria African Miniature Type of Object, Cast figure miniature, Country of Origin, Nigeria, People, Edo People at Benin, Materials, Brass- Bronze, Approximate Age, Unknown 20th century, Dimensions, 7 inches H. x 2.75 inches W. Overall Condition, Good, Damage/Repair, wear. Some oxidation, Additional Information: A miniature cast bronze figure. Representation of the king Oba cast with a staff and shown wearing a ceremonial headdress, a prestigious coral collar, a traditional skirt. The extension of the skirt into the vertical side projection is seen on a number of figural sculpture and on figures in relief on the Benin plaques. This sculpture is a miniature and replica of the early classic cast bronze figures of Oba and is executed with skill and attention to details. This 20th century copy ... moreindicates that Nigerian blacksmiths have not lost their skill in producing interesting works of art that continue a tradition of 500 years old. Benin art is royal art. Made to glorify the great king or Oba, who is considered to have divine ancestry. The brasscasters guild historically worked primarily for the monarchy, with smaller pieces being available to chiefs. It has been in existence since the fifteenth or sixteenth century. Most castings are brass(an alloy of copper and zinc with traces of other metals) although some were made out of bronze(an alloy of copper and tin with traces of other metals) Without doing an analysis on each piece, it is not possible to know the exact used material. Benin castings were all made by the lost wax technique, which produces one-of-a-kind pieces. A core of clay is covered with wax, which is then carved into the exact shape which the artist wants the finished piece to have. Additional wax"pipelines" are made for the wax to exit and gases to escape. The wax is then covered with a layer of fine clay, and with succeeding layers, each coarser than the previous one. The mold is then heated, which melts the wax and fires the clay into a s

The lion's paws grip the ground, the tension spreads like a current from his paws to all the tendons in his body. His mouth is open wide in what can only be a ferocious roar meant to intimidate and warn the prey that its end is near. This piece was cast using the lost wax method. It stands on a smooth black marble base. It is signed by the artist Milo. The Art of Lost Wax Lost wax casting has been around for thousands of years. Yet few people understand how the process actually works. ... moreAlthough mechanization has facilitated the lost wax process of bronze casting. The procedure is basically the same as that used by the Chinese when they first developed the process in the 2nd millennium BC. The Rubber Mold First the artist creates an original sculpture out of any number of media. Including stone, wax, clay, wood and pottery. This image is coated with a silicone rubber molding material that makes two rubber mold halves(each rubber mold has a front and a back piece) A fiberglass outer shell is added to the back of each mold so it retains its shape and rigidity during subsequent uses. These molds are the only components that are ever re-used in the casting process. All other components are re-created for each casting. The Wax Positive Once the molds are done. The insides are coated with layers of wax. The halves are then bound together and wax poured inside to complete the wax image being created. Once the wax has cooled. The mold is peeled away, yielding a wax image(the wax positive" duplicating the original sculpture. This image must then be"touched-up" to remove any seam lines.

African Bamoun / Bamileke Bronze Pipe #2
African pipes were made of different materials and in an endless variety of designs: terracotta. Stone, metal, gourds, horn, etc. They could be of very simple design, with bowl and stem made up of plain but no less graceful forms. Others were artfully decorated, adding a visual pleasure to the use of a cherished personal object or giving expression to differences in social status which such elaborate ornamentation implies. The number and variety of pipes was perhaps greater in Cameroon than anywhere else. Prestigious pipes had long stems because of the poor quality of African tobacco. Which is very strong. This is the reason why these pipes, which could have stems up to two meters long, were not actually used for smoking. Dignitaries would only touch their mouths to the stems during official ceremonies. The king's pipe was carried behind ... morehim by a servant. The decoration of pipes in Cameroon was regulated by a strict code: geometric patterns were good enough for the common man. But high‑ranking members of the brotherhoods could indulge in zoomorphic imagery, especially if the animals represented were related to their totems. Only the highest ranking chiefs and members of the royal family were allowed to have pipes with anthropomorphic motifs. The pipe shown here is outstanding in the meticulous details of the design. The bowl consists of the head of a nobleman and there are more detailed designs on the pipe stem. The pipe bowl is entirely made of bronze. It is a beautiful piece which has been well maintained and is in excellent condition! Size: 8" Long Materials: Bronze and Wood

The entire work has a fine, smooth patina; the reverse, with a dusting of typical African red clay in the inner portions(see photographs) No date of origin was provided when this was purchased because no“core thermoluminecence” test could have been performed due to the thickness of the bronze-only 1 cm. Tentatively, and broadly dating this at 17 th to 19 th century. For a similar piece. See Paul Hamlyn’s Benin Art(London, 1960) No. 35, a plaque with the shape of a mudfish.

Antique African Snake Charmer / Killer Bronze Figurine
I got this from a guy who collected all kinds of offbeat and unusual things. He also had a lot of offbeat and unusual friends like me. He had traveled world wide. When we bartered and traded. He told me that this figurine was hand made, probably 150 years ago somewhere in the Congo. Why would an African spend his time- never mind- it's art! Worth the time! I originally thought it was a snake charmer but this guy seems to be choking the cobra. It's a small piece. He's 2" tall, 1/2" wide, 3/4" deep. I am happy to combine shipping whenever possible. It is not my intent to make a profit on shipping. Neither is it my intention to lose money. Please be aware that with recent postal service changes, packages that hit certain weights make more sense to ship via priority mail. Should you win bids on 2 or more items, I will ... morecalculate the shipping costs and service to you, and at times, send you a message if there are multiple options at different price points which might make sense to you before I send an invoice. Please do not make payment for your bids before this takes place, because I cannot change the charges once this happens. Information for international bidders. When deciding to bid on this item please send a message requesting what the estimated shipping cost will be. This policy protects both you and me. Neither of us likes surprises. For example. You may win a bid for 99 cents, then find out the weight plus your country destination creates a shipping cost of $60.00 USD which may be totally unreasonable to you but very reasonable to the Postal Service. Please also note that any import fees or duties are your responsibility. Thank you for reviewing what I have to sell and I look forward to doing business with you. Feedback Feedback is very important to the eBay process and the eBay community. Both the seller and the buyer rely on positive feedback that results from a positive transaction.

2 MBOLE BRONZE CURRENCY - OLD AFRICAN MONEY - CONGO
2 Mbole Currency- DROC Metal was highly valued throughout Africa. And, as with most African metal items, pieces that were originally created for an entirely different purpose became viewed as wealth over time and then used as currency in trade for a wide variety of items- the metal could always be smelted down to reform into a more desirable or needed object. Most African tribes used a wide array of metal rings in varying sizes and shapes for adornment and primitive money. While records show that copper rings functioned as currency in Takrur in 1068 A.D. it is commonly believed that copper ingots were mined in the Katanga region as early as the 9th century, and the first appearance of heavy copper bracelets was recorded during the 8th century. Bracelets, often referred to as'ring money' served as a medium of early exchange in addition ... moreto ornamentation- a convenient way to transport wealth was to wear it as a show of prestige and power. The two main techniques for producing the rings or bracelets were drawing wire to forge or form the shape, and casting, and the pieces could easily be melted down(smelted) at another location and then reformed as desired. The use of imported copper and brass bangles or'manilas' dates back to 1439, when the Portuguese ordered their production from Venice for trade in Africa. The manilas continually grew smaller over time, and their metal content changed from solid copper to brass, and then to highly leaded brass until the importation and use of manilas was prohibited during the early 1900's when the British government sought to establish their own currency and therefore forbade the use of any other. The'native' currency(or primitive money) that was buried as a result of that British decree was not excavated until much later, and is now surfacing into the current market as art. This fine pair measure 4.5 inches tall and 4.5 inches wide.

Elephants are also seen as symbols of wisdom and dignity. Because of their incredible intelligence and very long life span.

After studying under sculptor Francois-Joseph Bosio and painter Baron Antoine-Jean Gros he was in 1818 admitted to the école des Beaux Arts. But it was not until 1823, while working for Fauconnier.

ANTIQUE AFRICAN BRONZE HORSE AND RIDER, TRIBAL ART...NICE!
My late Brother used to buy and sell African Art in New York. Almost every year he used to go to Africa to buy Art and this Bronze Horse and Rider was one thing he sent me. Unfortunately. I do not have the space to exhibit it, so it just sits in a box in the closet. It is time I passed it on to someone who can use it. It is approximately 8" Tall by 6 3/4" Long. It is in perfect shape. Nothing is broken, chipped or bent. I don't know if it is Dogon or Ashanti, Tribal Art. Maybe someone out there does. There is NO RESERVE! I see these going for $200.00-$300.00 Dollars, so give it your best shot! Don't miss out! Good Luck Bidding!
