CANNE DE DIGNITAIRE FANG décorée en son centre d'un motif torsadé s'arrêta

FANG DIGNITARY CANE decorated in its center with a twisted motif that stops to give way to a long quatrefoil from which emerges a neck supporting two leaning heads with characteristic features of the Fang aesthetic. The eyes of one of the faces still bear the traces of old nails that must have been used to represent pupils. Very nice patina of use. Fang, Gabron, 19th century.
Height : 96 cm (cracks)
