Description

Two early 20th century African bronze tribal staff,c1920. Most probably from the Yoruba tribal area (Nigeria/Benin) these are high quality prestige pieces which would have been carried at important ceremonies and traded as currency when required. Not quite a pair as there are subtle differences between the two. Both have well cast statues of male figures as the handles one with arms clasped and the other with arms by their side. There are also subtle differences to the shaft and main body. Both are in good condition, one has one of its 3 rivets missing between the shaft and base but this is very minor and doesn't affect the structural integrity of the piece. The metal has taken on great colour following years of handling and use. Please refer to the detailed photographs and feel free to contact me if you would like to view the item or have any questions.
