Nigerian Sculpture
An expressive vintage handcrafted Nigerian bronze or brass figurative sculpture depicting a seated elder or hunter beneath a stylized tree accompanied by a loyal dog, cast using the traditional lost-wax technique.
- Lost-Wax Cast Bronze: Handcrafted using the traditional West African cire-perdue method, ensuring a unique cast with rich textural depth across the branches, bark, and human anatomy.
- Poignant Narrative Composition: Features a seated figure in deep contemplation resting against a tree trunk, accompanied by a small canine companion nestled faithfully by his feet.
- Expressive Figurative Details: Modeled with traditional facial markings, bracelets, and an alert, reflective posture characteristic of Nigerian and Yoruba folk bronze traditions.
- Warm Antique Patina: Finished in a warm golden-bronze tone with dark oxidization highlighting the crevices and chased details.
