Three Brass Amulets
Kotoko, Chad
19th century or earlier
Provenance:
Old European collection
Cast in the classic form of an equestrian figure, these small pendants showcase how diminutive objects can be just as detailed if not more so than larger objects. The features are extremely worn from generations of handling; while the integrity of the castings is still totally intact. The details of the figure and horse and its riding gear are both visible but delicately rounded from everyday use and wear.
Heights: 2 ¾, 1 ½ and 1 ¼ in
