About this piece
A tall-eared figure holds something to its chest, and keeps its counsel.
Senufo bronze casters of the Ivory Coast, West Africa, made this standing male figure in the 20th century. Small cast figures like this are commonly kept as personal charms or ornaments. The man stands upright with two pointed ears or a tall crest, a rounded face, and both arms bent to hold an object before the chest. A ridged band marks the waist. The bronze is encrusted with green verdigris over a golden-brown base. It stands on a small black block.
About four inches tall. Quietly green, quietly dignified.
