#774 Vintage Benin Bronze of a Seated female Nigeria African 6.25" H W/Stand

This 5.75" tall Benin bronze statue of a seated woman with a book stands 6.25" H with stand (2" W × 3" D). A must-have for collectors, this piece exemplifies the artistry of the Benin Empire, a pre-colonial Nigerian nation whose bronze-casting guilds were passed down through generations and remain active today. Hand-crafted using the lost wax process, the mold is destroyed after each casting, making every sculpture truly one-of-a-kind.
