    An African trader brought this to my shop in Houston, Texas about 25 years ago. It is approximately a foot high and appears to be very old and made of bronze. Any information will be very appreciated.

      It looks like an Ife head from Nigeria - probably a moden copy (if not, it can be valuable). I have one in terracotta; it's fascinating! Google it and see for yourself if there aren't similarities!

      Thanks. It has what looks like a very old patched crack on the back and also a patched area on the forhead. This makes it look old to me. It also has patina. Will Google it...

      I would guess modern as well, quite a nice piece. :)

      The originals are for the most part lifelike, example:

      I also do not see this as an original.
