Dimitri André

Heavy, old African bronze statue (36 cm) of a warrior of Benin in Nigeria. This image is a unicat, manufactured by the method of the 'lost wax' which is lost during the casting process the mold. This statue is full of details, see pictures. Typical helmet motif necklaces adorn the chest and dissuasive mask images around the skirt. Some imperfections such as a hole here and there are common at such images. A beautiful aging and patina adorn this relatively large and heavy bronze statue. At the right a piece of the helmet is missing.
