A remarkable example of Gan bronze from Burkina Faso, using the refined lost-wax casting method with set of two dual serpents whose intertwined tails feature elaborate concentric rope detailing. Within Gan tradition, the serpent functions as a powerful protective emblem, warding off adversity and spiritual malevolence while commanding deep cultural reverence. Approximately 4.25" by 1.75" by 0.50" in and 1.5"w ny 4"h by 0.50" D
Created through the ancient lost-wax process—where the original beeswax model is consumed during casting—each piece remains utterly singular and unreproducible.
