#1199 Vtg Set of Two Gan Bronze Amulet Pendant/Gold Weight / Burkina Faso

This exceptional Gan bronze amulet set from Burkina Faso showcases the mastery of lost-wax casting, an ancient technique that renders each piece entirely unique. The pairing of a leopard and armadillo carries profound cultural significance: the armadillo embodies protection, renewal, and resilience, while the leopard commands associations with power, authority, and spiritual guardianship. Measuring approximately 3" by 1.75" by 0.57" and 3" by 1.5" by 1" respectively, these finely detailed pendants or gold weights represent the sophisticated metalworking traditions of the Gan people.
