Item specifics

Seller notes: “Very Good-Excellent overall antique cond: For sale is this estate fresh, really spectacular, ... “Very Good-Excellent overall antique cond: For sale is this estate fresh, really spectacular, monumental, quite lg, 16 1/2" in overall height, early 20th c Benin, W. Africa figurative bronze metal sculpture of a helmeted, bearded warrior on horseback, wielding a spear on a reeling battle horse. The bronze sculpture is in 2 pts, w/the rider being cast separately from the horse. Both figs have hollowed out bottoms. A link chain's used as reins by the warrior & fall to the R & L of his legs. The horseman lifts a spear over his R shoulder, poised to throw it forward. The surfaces of the bronze have wonderful episodes of minty green verdigris oxidation of the metal, most visible in the low & embedded spots on the forms. The horse, in a fairly exaggerated fashion reels upwards onto his hind legs, as if startled by an unseen adversary, prompting the rider to lift & ready his spear to throw. There are no breaks or repairs (old or new) & the sculpture is complete & undamaged. Magnificent. Clean.”
