About the Item

This character filled A Bamana Wrought Iron Equestrian Sculpture originates from Mali during the latter half of the 20th Century. Features a rectilinear black base on which four curved hooves of the horse figure rest, with subtly curving legs leading up to a minimal rectangular body, with the tail and head of the horse extending at either end. The iron of the tail is twisted to evoke the textural detailing of horse hair, with a link of chain leading from the bridle to the hand of the rider, which is attached with a hinged point to tilt the figure forward and back on the horse as one would riding in real life. The figure is rendered with a hood, short curved legs, and a raised right hand curled as though gripping a spear for hunting or battle. Coming from the A Bamana tribe in Mali, this piece is culturally rich and cleverly designed. A beautiful sculpture at a great scale for versatility of placement and display, this piece will style well in a wide array of interiors and settings, from Mid-Century Modernist to Contemporary and Minimal Interiors.

Hand-Sculpted French Cubist Abstract Sculpture in Terracotta Signed "Philip"
Located in New York, NY
This sophisticated and alluring Mid-Century Modern Sculpture was realized in France circa 1950. Executed in terra cotta with a oil rubbed bronze colored glaze, the work presents an abstract and dynamic form- bristling with verve. An elongated form rises from an elliptical base offering both smooth and curvilinear aspects as well as faceted ones concluding in a curved tongue-like appendage with a pointed end. Additionally, there is what appears to be a lug or nut cantilevering from side of the piece, suggesting metamorphosis or some kind of animatronic influence. The amorphic form recalls the highly stylized renderings of tools by Lee Lozano...
