Available is a striking vintage Benin bronze sculpture, portraying an elongated African male figure standing proudly atop a square bronze plinth. This handcrafted piece originates from the rich artistic tradition of Benin, West Africa, known for its exceptional bronze work dating back to the Kingdom of Benin (modern-day Nigeria).

This highly stylized and elongated form, with intricate facial details and textured skirt, represents a warrior or tribal elder, originally depicted holding a spear (now missing). Despite the missing spear, the sculpture remains in good condition overall, displaying an attractive aged bronze patina that speaks to its authenticity and age.

Standing approximately 10.75 inches (27.3 cm) tall, the figure is cast using traditional lost-wax techniques, a hallmark of Benin artistry, where no two pieces are exactly alike.
