Stylized Bronze Anthropomorphic Figure Candle Holder on Wooden Base

More Information

A stylized anthropomorphic figure, likely cast in bronze or brass using the lost-wax method, mounted on a rectangular wooden base. The figure features a pronounced anthropomorphic head with prominent facial features and an elaborate headdress composed of four disc-like projections, each decorated with a tightly wound spiral motif. A shallow, circular receptacle, intended for use as a candle holder or ceremonial vessel, rests atop the head. The figure exhibits prominent, stylized breasts and arms that curve outwards and down, forming a sturdy stand on the base. The metal surface displays characteristics consistent with tribal or ceremonial art, possibly referencing West African traditions.
