    I thought I would give this another try. Fairly large bronze African sculpture with 4 figures on an elongated stallion horse. Approximately 12 ¼” long and 8" tall. It looks similar to pieces from all of these; Dogon, Baule, Fon, Benin, Dahomey and Ashanti. I'm hoping someone could narrow it down. Does this have a special meaning? Thank you. Mill

    Okay. Can you enlighten me as to why it isn't Ashanti?

    upload_2017-10-21_18-48-34.jpeg Because to me the style of horse looks more inline with Dogon bronzes...

    upload_2017-10-21_18-51-6.jpeg The Ashanti heads are more bulbous & less drawn out...
