Dimitri André

Dimensions: 46 cm x 18 cm, weight 4.410 kg, African Bronze, Nigeria

Ife art is characterized by a fine balance of lines, a blatant realism, and serenity that seems to emanate representations of kings or queens. Beautiful bronze. This bust represents the Oni of Ife king, with his crown on his head, a plume overhanging. Today the king of Ife door like a badge of office, formed of a braided and finished at the top by a sharp bulge vertical segment. Vertical streaks across the face. The inside is hollowed out.

Possibility to  pick up the piece in our gallery La Porte Dogon
