During the 19th century, the queen dom disintegrated due to internal conflicts and by the beginning of the 20th century, when the French colonials arrived, they found only a network of villages, headed by councils of venerated men. Baule artists produce numerous works of art and Baule carvers are still very active today.

This bronze depicts a skilled rider atop a horse with an elegantly elongated face.\n\nCrafted using the lost wax method, each piece is a true original. The process begins with a beeswax model, which is then encased in layers of fine clay with wax rods attached. When heated, the wax melts away, leaving a cavity. Molten bronze is poured into this mold, and once cooled and hardened, the mold is broken away—ensuring no two pieces are identical.\n\nOrigin: Dogon ethnic group, Mali\nAge: Late 20th century\nMaterials: Bronze\nCondition: Good\nDimensions: 5\" H × 4\" W\u003c\/h3\u003e","brand":"Ethnika.antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32337443618952,"sku":"993","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/7495\/2328\/files\/s-l1600_d537ed64-03b1-45fc-9f90-adf7270b2fed.jpg?v=1776713876"},{"product_id":"superb-benin-bronze-of-a-seated-female-nigeria-african-5-75-h-1","title":"#774 Vintage Benin Bronze of a Seated female Nigeria African 6.25\" H W\/Stand","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 5.75\" tall Benin bronze statue of a seated woman with a book stands 6.25\" H with stand (2\" W × 3\" D).
