Das ist der Preis für die folgende Bewertung: 19Th C. African Lobi/Gan Bronze Diviner'S Pendant

Beschreibung : Africa, Burkina Faso, Lobi/Gan, ca. 19th century CE. A solid bronze diviner's pendant depicting a frontal human visage with coffee-bean eyes, a pronounced nose, and a subtle smile, the head adorned with a beautifully detailed headdress, the neck rather long and intersecting with an ovoid frame encircling the visage. Most African cultures are perhaps best known for their wooden and terracotta pieces. However, this piece demonstrates the technical skill and artistry that Lobi and Gan blacksmiths imbued in their work. A piece like this is an artifact of a rather intimate and spiritual nature, prescribed by diviners to protect clients from disease, hardship, and sorcery. A special example with gorgeous patina!
