Das ist der Preis für die folgende Bewertung: 19Th C. African Benin Edo Brass Female Attendant

Beschreibung : West Africa, Benin, Edo people, ca. 1890 to 1930 CE. A beautiful hollow-cast brass figure of a female attendant figure standing atop broad feet and delineated legs. The woman wears knee-length trousers around her waist while bearing her pendulous breasts on either side of intersecting baldric straps, and a cylindrical medallion is worn tightly around her neck. Her enlarged head features heavy-lidded, almond-shaped eyes, a slender nose with flared nostrils, puffy lips centered between rounded cheeks, and cupped ears, all beneath a simple coiffure. Traces of red and orange are visible around the dark-brown earthen pigment and suggest that this figure was at one time painted with vivid colors. Size: 3.1 W x 13.2 H (7.9 cm x 33.5 cm), 13.4 H (34 cm) on included custom stand. For a stylistically similar example of a male attendant, please see The Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 1977.187.35.
