About the Item
An iron figurine made in Africa around the 20th century.
In many countries in Africa, iron objects are used for objects, coins, tools, and rituals.
Dogon, Kishi, etc.
And this is probably made by the Lobi tribe of Burkina Faso.
They make many objects such as animals.
This is also shaped like an animal.
Also, I think this is a daily tool.
It's a tool for grinding something, and hang it when not in use.
It's a very simple model, but I get a nice impression.
Is beautiful.
Why don't you put one in your room?
Also, I want many people to know the goodness of old goods, so the price is set reasonably.

19th Century African Iron Currency Mfunte Mfumte Nigeria Cameroon
Located in Point Richmond, CA
The price is for an individual currency and includes the custom made stand.
The shape of a Mfunte currency has a seemingly simple yet complex design. The forged iron surface was scratched in an end-to-end direction to create a visually interesting surface, a central raised vein to create two sections, and swelling was incorporated on the front at the straight end. The aging of the iron has further added to the texture and attractiveness of the design.
Colonial coinage replaced Africa's traditional iron currencies...
