Stunning, authentic vintage West African tribal folk art figurine depicting a traditional musician playing a waist-mounted drum with hands raised. Crafted using the ancient, multi-step lost-wax casting technique (cire perdue), this piece showcases exquisite primitive styling and a beautiful, naturally aged dark patina with warm metallic highlights showing through on high-wear areas.
This piece has been physically inspected and verified as an authentic, hand-poured village foundry casting, featuring classic diagnostic markers that collectors look for:
Genuine Clay Core: The interior cavity retains remnants of the original baked clay investment core used during the molding process.
Artisan Characteristics: The underside and joints display organic casting voids, air pocket cooling irregularities, and manual file marks typical of unique tribal foundry work.
Metal Composition: Tested and verified non-magnetic copper alloy (brass/bronze).
Approximately 6 1/2 inches H, 2 1/2 inches W, 3 inches D.
