Vintage Bronze Monkey, Mali, 1960's

Cast in bronze, this mid‑20th‑century African monkey is rendered on all fours with finely chased detailing and a compact, weighty silhouette. A shiny, iron‑like patina cloaks the handmade surface; each example carries subtle variations in finish and proportion. It may represent an Ashanti gold weight (Mbramoo), the small cast forms once used to measure gold and gold dust. As a vintage object it may show signs of age and use; the photographed example may not be identical to the piece you receive. Approximate dimensions: 2.75" × 2" × 1.25".
