Description
Mtihani African Figurine Bronze Sculpture. Pre owned in excellent condition. VALUE R 1 120
Mtihani is one of a range of cold cast Bronze figurines and color figurines which are true reproductions of the native people of Africa. He was created by Soul Journeys c2005
Each figurine is crafted on a bonded limestone core with all finishing details expertly done by hand. Cold cast figurines are all coated in a thin layer of cold cast bronze while the color figurines are all painstakingly detailed with enameling.
Cold – Cast bronze is made by mixing real bronze powder with a bonding paste and applying this to the surface of the figurine. This coat of real bronze is then burnished to a sheen.
Mtihani is the inquisitive one – “Safe within our engang I think of my brave brothers protecting our cattle in faraway plains and wonder how they would fend off an attacking lion or find their way in the dark night”.
This is a gorgeous little sculpture in excellent used condition with no discernible flaws.
The original sticker is still on the underside of the sculpture, and there is a stamp on the rear of the base – Xystos 2005.
Measurements: height: 13cm; base width: 6 cm
