[QUOTE="15Stiftgasse, post: 4574393, member: 12382"]Hello. I've just bought a 'job lot' of a few items from the same seller, amongst which was this brass/bronze(?) figure of a chicken, which measures c. 12cm across. It is fairly crudely cast and the 'patina' looks as though it might not be due to age. I've tried to research on the internet and have come to the conclusion that it might originate from West Africa, possibly Nigeria (or perhaps even a cheap repro from Mali(?)). Anyway, it's probably worth very little, but I would nevertheless be interested in find out anything I can regarding it's age and likely origin, should there be anyone out there with more experience of such figures. Thanks in advance for any help offered ! [ATTACH=full]406521[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]406522[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]406523[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
