Description: Handmade ethnic African figurine is a wonderfully detailed vintage bronze sculpture depicting a rooster with a worm clutched in its beak. The intricate statuette measures approximately 2 inches wide by 3 inches tall and 6.5 inches long. The body of the rooster is rendered with expert craftsmanship, capturing the bird's puffed out chest, textured feather details, and upright posture. The elongated tail feathers sweep back dramatically. The rooster's head is slightly turned with its mouth open, grasping the long bronze worm sculpted to look like it's caught its prey. The figurine has a rich brown patina characteristic of aged bronze that adds to its vintage, rustic appearance. The sculpture is surprisingly weighty for its small size, indicating the use of solid metal rather than hollow casting. While the maker is unknown, the level of detail and three-dimensional sculpting is indicative of being an authentic handmade African bronze artifact rather than a reproduction. The style points to the amulet or figurine potentially originating from the Ashanti, Dogon or Bamana peoples of West Africa. Pictures are of the actual item. Please feel free to ask for any additional information or questions you may have.
