Damage/Repair, some oxidation. Broken crown decoration, damage with large crack in the back of head, crack at the edge of crown, cracks and holes in neck, holes in places, Additional Information: This casting head of King Oni is a fine example of one of the most famous metalworking traditions in world history. The present head is a 20th Century copy modeled after the great Yoruba center at Ife dating originally approximately 1100-1450 A.D. The famous archaeological site at Ife in Nigeria produced a number of remarkable objects and bronze heads cast in bronze including the original of this late replica that was also cast in Nigeria. Ife is considered to be the center and origin of the Yoruba people. This bronze cast head is of an Oni. The ruler at Ife, who still hold sway over the Yoruba at Ife today. That this is a replica cannot be doubted, but what is important to note is that the skill of the Nigerian bronze and brass casters of today who cast this vessel continue a tradition nearly 1000 years old and have not lost their skill in producing interesting works of art. The scarification is thought to be an indicator of royals at Ife and the large device protruding from the top of the crown was thought to be made of magical plants. see close similar examples in: Nigeria Art.

It was sculpted by hand and cast in bronze using the lost wax process. The people of Benin(now known as Nigeria) are descended from the Ife tribe and have been making bronzes in exactly the same way for many hundreds of years. I am not an expert; it is therefore quite difficult to date this piece accurately but I believe that it was probably made in the first half of the 20th century. Of course there is a distinct possibility that it could be considerably older. There are a few small holes here and there and a couple of larger ones on the head(see photos) There is also some oxidisation. Mainly on the face. Condition is otherwise good.

Mali, West Africa. In Dogon society. Horses were generally considered a luxury reserved for rich or powerful people and horses also occur in Dogon beliefs about the creation of the world, where horse and rider figures are seen as a symbol of a mythological personage. This powerful and evocative example measures 8.75 inches in width by 2.25 inches in depth by 9 inches in height(22.2 cm by 5.7 cm by 22.9 cm) The figure shows wear consistent with the mid-20th century, including rubbing, oxidization and a small amount of rust-like corrosion that are a normal part of the bronze aging process. It would make a fine collector’s piece for anyone interested in Dogon culture or African art in general. In the ancient empires of West Africa. Horses were associated with wealth, kingship, and prestige and represented power in several realms: political, military, legal, and mystical. Some rulers even handed down legal decisions while on horseback. Horses were rare in African empires south of the Sahara, and only kings and their cavalries were allowed to possess them. Archaeological evidence shows that horses were sacrificed and buried with royalty in areas just north of the Niger Delta as early as 1000 A.D. Horses appear in Dogon mythology about the creation of the world and it was the first animal to leave the ark in the descent to earth. Symbolizing its importance in the establishment of Dogon culture. The horse is incorporated into many ceremonial and functional sculptures. And equestrian figures are common in Dogon art, with the bronze figure sharing the long tradition of figurative iron, bronze, and brass casting by blacksmiths in West Africa reaching back to the period of the great Empire of Mali as early as the 12th century. In many West African traditional communities, blacksmiths enjoyed a privileged posit

Rare antique African tribal Akan/Ashanti bronze gold dust box. REDUCED
This 19th Century box was found in a market in Cote d'Ivoire(Ivory Coast) West Africa in 1991 or 92. Boxes like this were made by the Akan(Ashanti, Baule) people of West Africa by the lost-wax(cire perdue) method of moulding bronze and used to carry and store gold dust. Other Akan gold dust paraphanalia made from bronze and brass include rounded spoons to shovel the gold dust, decorated brass weights and tiny scales-dishes to weigh the gold. Some comments suggest that the boxes themselves or the lids on their own might also have been used as weights for larger amounts of gold. The lid of this box fits well and is probably original to the box. The lid is decorated with four birds; one of them was already headless when I bought it. And judging by the patina had been headless for a long time. The starting price for this object is set quite ... morelow because of the damage to the lid. Nowadays the decorated lids are sometimes found separate from the boxes and although this lid has been damaged, being with the original box makes this object very collectible. Approx size: length 64 mm(2 1/2 inches) x width 30 mm(1 3/8 inches) x 25 mm(1 inch) box height. Dispatch is by regular international registered mail: £12.00 postage for all the EU including the UK. And £15.00 worldwide. I will combine postage on purchases made during the same week if you let me know you are bidding on other items.

CONDITION Surface deterioration. Metal corrosion, scrapes, worn areas, overall condition good. Thank you and please view my other items. ... moreBACKGROUND In Yoruba mythology the city of Ile-Ife situated at southwest of Nigeria is“the navel of the world. the place where creation took place and the tradition of kingship began. There it was that the gods Oduduwa and Obatala descended from the heaven to create earth and its inhabitants. Oduduwa himself became the first ruler, oni, of Ile-Ife. To this day Yoruba kings trace ancestry to Oduduwa. Of all the centers of African art, there is none so remarkable for extraordinary accomplishments in many fields of art as the ancient town of Ife, the ritual center of the great Yoruba tribe of western Nigeria. Ife gave its name to this art. Ife art includes terra-cotta and bronze heads and busts, stone sculpture, stools and religious pieces carved in quartz, monumental granite monoliths, statues of humans and animals. Both the terra-cotta and bronze pieces belong to a series that has been interpreted by some specialists as idealized portraits, and occasionally a bust or a head has been identified as that of an oni or a dignitary. They date from 12th to the 15th. Ife style is reminiscent of that of Benin, which flourished in the 16th century. The bronze heads were cast b

Vintage Bronze Elephant Pendant Mommy & Baby Safari Roll Tide Alabama African
Hi there. I am selling everything in my world. I need desperately to raise money. I just found out termites were eating my house. I have a lot of things that I don't need. I thought it would be a good time to downsize my world. And hopefully make some money to buy new walls. LOOK BELOW FOR LARGE PHOTOS! This is a bronze elephant pendant. It is bronze and a mommy and baby and they are really cute. The elephant is also the mascot of the University of Alabama! I bought this at an estate sale. I am not sure how old it is. Or what it is worth really, This estate sale was of a jewelry designer. And she had pearls, made jewelry, half made jewelry, and tons of beads and charms. There was gold wire. And silver wire, and findings to make earrings, and necklaces, it was really cool! I have been making plans to make something out of all these great ... morefinds that I got in her treasure trove. But I don't think I will ever get around to it. I need to raise some money. So I will just sell a lot of the great things I got there for now, and I am sure they will come back around. This pendant measures 38 mm by 26 mm by 2 mm and weighs 20.4 carats. Which is 4.11 grams. I love it. But I need to make money, so there you go- no reserve, cheap shipping, starting bid under a buck! Can't beat it! If you have anymore questions. Just ask. I am sure I am leaving something out. From Wikipedia. The free encyclopedia. Jump to: For other uses. See. African elephant skeleton.

On either side of the temples are semicircular and rectangular shapes that represent the stylized coiffure worn by Senufo mothers; the center shapes at the side representing ... moreears. Animal horns- bull. Ram or antelope- represent male attributes of the masquerade. There are often two appendages on either side of the chin. legs" that connect the spirit to the earth. Most important are the figures on the head. Which represent an ancestor closely connected with the society's origin. The figures worn depend on the caste group to which the individuals belong.

Eventually they became known as slave trade money after Europeans began using them to acquire slaves from the African continent. This particular example was salvaged from the wreck of the Duoro. Lost on the Crewbathen rocks of the isles of Scilly, off the Southwestern tip of Great Britain in 1843. The ship left Liverpool, allegedly bound for Portugal with a cargo of textiles and munitions. However, when the wreck was discovered in 1973 the true cargo was found to be a large quantity of bronze Manillas. As the slave trade had been banned in Britain for over 36 years it is, therefore, thought the Duoro was actually bound for South Africa on an illegal slave trading ... morerun. Diameter: 2 1/4 inches. Weight: 59 g. Condition: Very good. Some ware consistent with long term ocean burial. Provenance: From the Duoro shipwreck. Salvaged in 1973 by Terry Hiron and Jim Heslin.

Antique Tribal African Antique figurative cast bronze bracelet with a horseman
Unique Dogon Antique(circa mid- late 1800s) Cast Bronze Bracelet with a Horseman From the old private collection of the internationally celebrated artist and ardent Africanist. This is a rare. Museum quality authentic artifact(circa mid- late 1800s) The item is about 3 1/2" x3" and2 1/2 inner with 1 1/4 opening in excellent antique condition. Dogon art is extremely versatile. Although common stylistic characteristics– such as a tendency towards stylization– are apparent on the statues. Their art deals with the myths whose complex ensemble regulates the life of the individual. The sculptures are preserved in innumerable sites of worship, personal or family altars, altars for rain, altars to protect hunters, in market. As a general characterization of Dogon statues, one could say that they render the human body in a simplified way, ... morereducing it to its essentials. Some are extremely elongated with emphasis on geometric forms. The subjective impression is one of immobility with a mysterious sense of a solemn gravity and serene majesty, although conveying at the same time a latent movement. Dogon sculpture recreates the hermaphroditic silhouettes of the Tellem, featuring raised arms and a thick patina made of blood and millet beer. The four Nommo couples, the mythical ancestors born of the god Amma, ornament stools, pillars or men’s meeting houses, door locks, and granary doors. The primordial couple is represented sitting on a stool, the base of which depicts the earth while the upper surface represents the sky; the two are interconnected by the Nommo. Horsemen are remainders of the fact that, according to myth, the horse was the first animal present on earth. The Dogon style has evolved into a kind of cubism: ovoid head, squared shoulders, tapered extremities, pointed breasts, forearms, and thighs on a parallel plane, hairdos stylized by three or four incised lines. Dogon sculptures serve as a physical medium in initiations and as an explanation of the world. They serve to transmit an understanding to the i
