Description

Early 20th century African Tikar (Cameroon) tribal bronze maternity statue, c 1920. This is a large, heavy (6 kg), fine quality example well cast in the traditional lost wax method. It has good decoration with the highly stylised and exaggerated features (stomach, hands, feet etc) one would expect from an older example. There is a nice finial of a figure playing a musical instrument on the head of the main figure. It has the usual casting holes etc but overall condition is good with only minor wear and rubbing. It has aged well with good colour/patina. Please refer to the detailed photographs and feel free to contact me with any questions or if you would like to view the item.

Size: 49 cm tall x 27 cm wide x 22 cm deep, weight 6 kg. I will happily ship worldwide.
