Description

Pair large mid 20th century African Benin tribal Cockerel /Rooster statues, c 1940.

The detailing to the feathers and head etc is very fine and they are in nice original condition with only minor wear and the original casting holes etc that you find in older African bronzes. They have good colour/patina following years of handling. Please refer to the detailed photographs and feel free to contact me with any questions or if you would like to view the item.
