    I think that this is a copy of a Benin sculpture - maybe a very well-known one. it's a little over one ft tall and solid bronze. it has a cool look to it.

      you are right but is a lazy assessment

      you have to combine the horn of wealth and affluence and the ankle beads (windings)and the non presence elongated neck rings
      the ankle rings are status so i think it,s a high ranked guard of the oba in a sort of domestic palace service

      it is not an yaksayeorare !!!!

      what does that mean apostata? yasayeorare?
    5. apostata apostata, 3 years ago
      Yaksayeorare is IMO the Korean equivalent of an medicine Buddha BHAI?AJYAGURU
    6. apostata apostata, 3 years ago
      forget the k Yaksayeorare
