About this piece
Everything is covered in a tiny grid, including the man.
Senufo metalworkers of the Ivory Coast, West Africa, cast this standing male figure in bronze in the early 20th century. Small bronzes of this kind are commonly used as ornaments, pendants or personal charms. The figure is slim and upright, with a pointed crest on its head and a narrow, bearded face. Squared incised patterns cover the torso and legs, like a checked cloth. Pale green verdigris sits over a coppery gold. The arms hang straight by the sides.
About three and a third inches tall. Neat and delicate, with a lot of detail for its height.
