A characterful African bronze figure depicting a mounted warrior on a rearing horse, cast using traditional lost wax methods. Pieces like this are widely collected for their strong form and connection to long-established West African metalworking traditions.

The figure is highly stylised, with elongated limbs and simplified features that reflect the visual language associated with Dogon and broader Sahel region sculpture. The horse is shown rearing, while the rider holds a spear, creating a dynamic sense of movement. The surface has a deliberately textured, pitted finish typical of hand-cast work, giving it an authentic and tactile presence.

This piece is a genuine lost wax casting, a centuries-old technique still used by artisans across West Africa today. Each example is individually formed in wax, cast and finished by hand, meaning no two are exactly alike. While not an early tribal antiquity, it is an authentic 20th century piece made in the traditional manner.

Size: 19 cm tall  x 9 cm wide (approximate)

A decorative and culturally inspired piece that will appeal to collectors of African art, ethnographic objects, or those looking for a sculptural interior accent.
