A bronzed figure of an African male musician, executed in a modernist, elongated style reminiscent of the work of Derme Morou?. The figure is depicted in a dynamic, leaning pose, blowing a long, slender horn or trumpet. He wears a traditional cap and a waist wrap, with a circular woven basket or shield slung over his hip. The sculpture features an expressive, textured surface with a dark brown patinated finish and lighter highlights to the raised anatomical details. The figure stands upon an integral, irregular plinth base. No maker’s marks or signatures are visible on the cast or base.
Height: 45 cm.
