West Africa

Every day life Figurines  Throughout West Africa, bronze casting has been the prerogative of blacksmiths, who wielded power in their communities. Distinct from those commissioned for royal and court use, village bronzes are usually smaller in scale and made for use by individuals as protective, curative, or commemorative devices. They could also present mythological or every day life subjects. The collection of presented village bronzes is related to the last category.
