Help needed with bronze statue

I'm totally clueless on this bronze statue. I found something much smaller with only 1 figure on a horse and the seller said it was African. Any ideas what this represents, country, age? It is approximately 12" long and 9" tall. Thank you.









I'm not sure if these are marks or not.

 

Probably Ashanti.

 

Thank you! It's amazing what can be found when you have name. I found the same one on Google that states "probably Ashanti. I'm going to do some more searching.

 

After looking a bit through google it's more likely Dogon, seems to be more horse figures attributed to the Dogon than the Ashanti.

 

After looking at Dogon figures, I think the Ashanti looks more like my piece. The figures on the horses are very different.

 

Might also be Fon/Benin/Dahomey. I've some original Benin brasses bought by my grandparents when they lived on the Gold Coast before WW1.

 

anundverkaufen, I take that back. I did more searching today and found that there are many Dogon figures that do look similar. The pieces I looked at last night seemed less primitive.

Thanks ownedbybear. I'm off to research those names.

 

my Ashanti gold weights....
the OP's bronze has some similar features.....
