<p>[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 4350154, member: 8267"]Not a high quality casting. Almost certainly a relatively modern reproduction, as you suspect. It could have been made in West Africa by modern artisans, in the Benin style. Or could have been made almost anywhere. It almost looks like it might be made of cast iron, rather than the traditional bronze/copper alloy. Does it attract a magnet?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
