Eight-element necklace with central face, Dan, Ivory Coast, 19th-20th centuries

Descriptio Copper alloy. Measurements: 8 cm (central element). Necklace composed of eight metal elements articulated around a stylized central face. The composition combines geometric and figurative motifs, with a synthetic treatment of facial features and an execution linked to the Dan artistic tradition. The surface retains a dark patina, greenish and earthy tones, as well as oxidations and irregularities characteristic of the metal alloy and the passage of time. Lot in international warehouse (within the EU). Intra-EU shipping: no import duties apply within the EU. An export permit from the country of origin may be required. Due to its age and history of use, this lot may show signs of wear and previous interventions. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, no specialized technical testing has been performed. The absence of any mention of restorations does not guarantee that none exist. You may request additional information before placing a bid. This does not affect the buyer’s statutory rights.
