Vintage Bronze Impala Couple, Mali, 1960's

A pair of vintage, handmade impala—male and female—cast in oxidized bronze. Each small figure records the irregularities of handwork and carries a quiet patina; dimensions are approximately 1 × 2.5 × 2.5 inches. Circa mid‑20th century and possibly older, these pieces may be examples of Ashanti gold weights (Mbramoo), objects historically used to measure gold and gold dust. As vintage objects they show signs of age and use and no two are identical; the specific examples available may vary from the photograph. Additional images are available on request.
