Vintage Iron Snake, Mali, 1960’s

A handmade iron sculpture of a serpent, vintage African, dated to the mid 20th century or possibly earlier. The figure is worked in low relief, measuring approximately 16"–17" × 2" × 1", its surface bearing the marks of age and the irregularities of hand fabrication. Each example varies slightly — no two are identical — lending the piece an immediate, tactile presence. As a vintage object it may show signs of use; we have multiple examples on hand and can send additional photographs of the exact piece available upon request.
