A rare and culturally significant piece, ideal for collectors of African art and historical artifacts.
An significant example of Kotoko artistry, this bronze equestrian figure reflects the heritage of the ancient Sao civilization near Lake Chad. Created using the traditional lost-wax technique, the rider and horse are rendered in a stylized yet powerful form, symbolizing status and strength. Such figures were historically worn as amulets or placed in funerary urns, embodying protection and prestige.
Dimensions: 15cm D, 6 cm W, 7cm H.
Condition: Structurally sound and in very good overall condition.
Country: Chad
Period: Late 20th century
Please note: This is an antique item and you should expect to see evidence of wear and potentially some slight 'imperfections', which we believe add to the character and charm of the piece.
