Museum quality authentic artifact(circa late 1800s) representing Serpent head Amulet Pendant. The item is about 5" In excellent antique condition. Serpent: In West Africa the serpent plays an important role as the creator of humankind. The Ashanti of Africa tell how the Creator Python come from the heavens and settled in the river.

This is what made them fertile, and able to populate the earth. In North Africa. A cosmic serpent named Minia is honoured. Her head is the sky and her tail is in the waters that are believed to lie under the earth. The Fon and Bantu peoples further to the south. Believe that Mawu-Lisa formed the earth. And a creative power called Da Ayido Hwedo flows like a snake through creation. This serpent has held the earth together since that time. In Central Africa. Chinawezi.

West African Antique Bronze/Brass Husband & Wife Playing Mancala
Bronze/Brass Cast Husband and Wife Playing Mancala. Approx 3" tall X 4" wide and 1&1/2 pounds in weight. Very fun piece that was made in the Lost Cast Method as follows: The process begins with beeswax. Latex, or another material with a low melting point. It must be soft enough for carving fine details, but hard enough to retain its shape. After the wax object has been carved, increasingly coarse layers of clay are applied to the object and allowed to dry. The first and finest clay slips capture the wax details in the smooth mold, and the coarser clay layers provide strength. The entire assemblage is fired, causing the original wax carving to melt away, leaving only a baked clay shell. Liquid metal is poured into the empty mold and left to cool and harden. Later, the clay exterior is broken open, revealing the finished metal ... moreobject beneath. In direct lost-wax casting, the object produced is always unique, as the mold is necessarily destroyed as part of the casting process. This is an original sculpture. Wonderful for the collector! Happy Bidding!

The figures are about 18" and 16 1/2" high in excellent antique condition. The figures separate from their respective chairs. WEIGHT OVER 20 POUNDS African Bronze: The word Yoruba describes both a language and a group of people spread across Nigeria and Benin. Yoruba origins can be traced back to the holy city of Ife at the end of the first millennium. According to the Yoruba peoples’ myth of the origin. Of Ife, it was the place where the gods descended from the skies to populate the world. According to tradition, when the first Oba(Benin king) died his head was sent to Ife for burial, with Ife sending back a bronze head for the ancestors’ altar. ... moreFascinated by this creation Benin royalty beseeched the Ife king to send an artist who could teach the art of bronze work to Benin craftsmen. The Benin were already skilled working with this extremely rare metal called bronze but had trouble with the technique of casting. The Ife artist Ighea was sent and passed on the now legendary“lost wax” casting technique which enabled the Benin to create items using less bronze metal. Froo www.froo.com | Froo Cross Sell.

Tribal African Antique Delicate cast bronze bracelet
Unique Antique(circa mid- late 1800s) Delicate Cast Bronze Bracelet 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 2 3/2" x3" and 2 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, reducing it ... moreto 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 initiated, wh

The first step can be shocking for some as they begin to decide how this original will be cut up. In order to prepare the original clay sculpture for molding.

Born in Paris, Barye began his career as a goldsmith. Like many sculptors of the Romantic Period. 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, the goldsmith, that he discovered his true predilection from watching the animals in the Jardin des Plantes, making vigorous studies of them in pencil drawings comparable to those of Delacroix, then modelling them in sculpture on a large or small scale. The Art of Lost Wax Lost wax casting has been around for thousands of years. Yet few people understand how the process actually works. Although 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.

Antique Duoro Shipwreck Bronze African Okpoho Manilla
A truly fascinating mid 19th century Okpoho manilla or slave trade token. Salvaged from the Duoro shipwreck, dating to 1843. Manillas were a traditional African medium of exchange. 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.

Particularly for weighing gold dust which was until ... morereplaced by paper money and coins. They are referred to locally as mrammou and the weights are made of brass and not gold.

This provided merchants with secure and fair-trade arrangements with one another. The status of a man increased significantly if he owned a complete set of weights. Complete small sets of weights were gifts to newly wedded men. This insured that he would be able to enter the merchant trade respectably and successfully. Beyond their practical application, the weights are miniature representations of West African culture items such as adinkra symbols. Plants, animals and people.

Art, jewelry, coins, tools and electronics for over 40 years. We are a trusted and respected dealer. We do our best to ensure all items conditions are accurately described and stand behind all of our items 100% Please ask any and all questions prior to bidding. Up for sale today we are offering this unique African Bamileke bronze figure of a warrior from the Cameroon Grasslands. The Bamileke tribe was originally from an area to the north known as Mbam. Although the Bamileke are primarily farmers. They are also hunters and traders. Women are responsible for planting and harvesting due to the belief that women make the soil more fruitful. The major crops grown are yams, peanuts, and maize. The men in the ... moretribe help with clearing the land and hunting. The Bamileke tribe worships a supreme god and their ancestors. Ancestral spirits are embodied in the skulls of deceased ancestors. Skulls of ancestors are kept to give the spirits a place to reside to prevent them from causing trouble for the family. If a skull is not kept, a ceremony must be done to compensate. Much of the art produced by the Bamileke tribe is associated with royal ceremonies. Art objects show the position of a person in the tribal hierarchy. As a person descended or ascended the social ladder, the materials used and the number of pieces changed. In a chief’s residence one would find ancestral figures and masks, as well as headdresses, bracelets, beaded thrones, pipes, necklaces, swords, horns, fans, elephant tusks, leopard skins, terracotta pots, and dishware. All of this was used to assert the chief’s power. Beadwork and masks are common in this tribe. Masks were decorated with copper, cowrie shells, and beads. They were carved to represent male and female heads, stags, buffalo, birds, and elephants. Bamileke masks were usually worn during ceremonies and rituals such as funerals and annual festivals.

We do our best to ensure all items conditions are accurately described and stand behind all of our items 100% Please ask any and all questions prior to bidding. Today we have this unique African Bamileke bronze seated court figure from Cameroon. The Bamileke tribe was originally from an area to the north known as Mbam. Although the Bamileke are primarily farmers. They are also hunters and traders. Women are responsible for planting and harvesting due to the belief that women make the soil more fruitful. The major crops grown are yams, peanuts, and maize. The men in the tribe help with clearing the land ... moreand hunting. The Bamileke tribe worships a supreme god and their ancestors. Ancestral spirits are embodied in the skulls of deceased ancestors. Skulls of ancestors are kept to give the spirits a place to reside to prevent them from causing trouble for the family. If a skull is not kept, a ceremony must be done to compensate. Much of the art produced by the Bamileke tribe is associated with royal ceremonies. Art objects show the position of a person in the tribal hierarchy. As a person descended or ascended the social ladder, the materials used and the number of pieces changed. In a chief’s residence one would find ancestral figures and masks, as well as headdresses, bracelets, beaded thrones, pipes, necklaces, swords, horns, fans, elephant tusks, leopard skins, terracotta pots, and dishware. All of this was used to assert the chief’s power. Beadwork and masks are common in this tribe. Masks were decorated with copper, cowrie shells, and beads. They were carved to represent male and female heads, stags, buffalo, birds, and elephants. Bamileke masks were usually worn during ceremonies and rituals such as funerals and annual festivals.

Vintage African Bronze Sculpture Animal Folk Art Deer Cow ?? Unsigned
A very nice African Vintage Bronze to add to your collection! Bronze is approx. 15" long and approx. 9 1/2" tall. Weight is 6 1/2 lbs. The provenance I have on this unsigned art is that my neighbor bought it in the 60's. I can see there may have been a repair on the right front leg or that was a production flaw either way Lou says he never had it repaired. There is no wobble or does it seem that front leg flaw is unstable. As you can see there is some pitting to the bronze and some clean up may be required or left as is. I don't know what is the best process to shine up and clean but I am not sure all would want that, so I am leaving as is. Thank you for looking!

African Tribal Rare Antique Akan Ashanti Cast Bronze Large sculpture - Elephant
Fine Extremely Rare Antique(circa late 1800s) A shanti Cast Bronze Large sculpture- Elephant From the old private collection of the internationally celebrated artist and ardent Africanist. This is a rare. Museum quality authentic artifact(circa late 1800s) The item is about 7 1/4" x 9 1/4" in excellent antique condition. The basic method of lost-wax casting has been widely practiced on the African continent for centuries. While it is difficult to establish how the method was developed or introduced to the region. It is clear that West African sculptors were casting brass with this method for several hundred years prior to the arrival of the first Portuguese explorers along the coast in 1484. The technique requires a great deal of skill, involving extensive knowledge of both pottery and metalworking, and a careful attention to changing ... moretemperatures to prevent unwanted cracking or other damage to either the clay mold or to the metal sculpture during the casting process. Some of the earliest and most accomplished bronzeworks found in Africa date to the tenth century and are from a site called Igbo-Ukwu. Froo www.froo.com | Froo Cross Sell.
