- Lot Description
West Africa, Nigeria, Yoruba, ca. late 19th to early 20th century CE. A remarkable and rare brass bust of a horse displaying a tubular neck and a lengthy snout with huge, ovoid eyes, a bulbous nose, and an open mouth of sizable teeth. Topped by a pair of large, perky ears, the wonderful animal stands atop a pair of thick, slightly bent legs with slender wires horizontally wrapped at the end of each to delineate the hooves. A series of petite loops lines both sides of the neck and snout, while oval embellishments decorate the back of the neck. The loops are connected to 8 brass ornaments that hang below the creature's head, and the feet are connected to one another via an additional strip of brass. A verdant green patina nicely complements the gold hue of the brass. Size: 6" L x 3" W x 6.5" H (15.2 cm x 7.6 cm x 16.5 cm); 7.375" H (18.7 cm) on included custom stand.
Provenance: private New York, New York, USA collection; ex-Eric Robertson collection, New York City, New York, USA
