A remarkable example of Gan bronze from Burkina Faso, using the refined lost-wax casting method with set of a crocodile and a chameleon whose intertwined tails feature elaborate concentric rope detailing. Within Gan tradition, the chameleon and crocodile functions as a powerful protective emblem, warding off adversity and spiritual malevolence while commanding deep cultural reverence. Approximately 3.25" by 1.75" by 0.50" Created through the ancient lost-wax process—where the original beeswax model is consumed during casting—each piece remains utterly singular and unreproducible.
