Lost Wax Cast Figurine
Lost wax cast copper alloy figurines were produced in foundries in Mali, Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana and Burkina Faso for centuries. They served as talismans to be carried or worn, as trade goods and diviners’ regalia. This 6 cm tall figurine comes from the personal collection of Joseph Knopfelmacher, founder of Craft Caravan, the landmark emporium of African arts and crafts in Soho, New York City. Price upon request. Unmounted.
