    Any ideas on the origin or age? I picked this up at a wealthy estate sale. It is small, just 1.5" long.

    Gotcha, will do, thanks. This isn't made very obvious in the posting screen!

    I’m guessing it was made in 20th C.. as a tourist souvenir.

    I'm wondering if this could be an Akan African brass gold weight ?

    Perhaps it is trying to be one. The faked black crud and very poor casting turn me off.

    I think it is an Akan pendant, with that connecting thing between the horns. I used to have an Akan mask pendant, but that was more human-like.
    Come to think of it, I may still have it.
