Amulet
Kotoko, Chad
19th Century or earlier
Provenance: Old European collection
Cast in brass and covered in leather this amulet is conceived in classic form of an equestrian figure. The features are extremely worn from generations of handling; while the integrity of the casting is still totally intact. At the end points of the amulet the leather covering has worn away, revealing details of the brass casting that were supposed to be hidden from view.
