    Also posted a thread in tribal art since I wasn't sure where exactly to put this. But I picked this up at a thrift store since it was a pretty heavy figurine but when I looked it up benin bronze popped up. I doubt something like that would just surface at a thrift store so really I'm just looking for replica information/input really anything. 20211119_113259.jpg 20211119_113252.jpg 20211119_113305.jpg 20211119_113312.jpg

    I have some Benin brasses. Grandparents lived on the Gold Coast before WW1, brought them back. That shape is spot on for a Benin/Fon/Dahomey one. But, it may well just be a nice replica.
