Statue(s) (1) - Bronze - Vere - Nigeria

Bronze statue VERE Although poorly documented, the VERE are renowned for the quality and originality of their bronzes. Here is a typical statue for its style and subject. It represents two men superimposed, a leader carrying its protective ancestor on the head. This is a recurrent theme in Africa, highlighting the lineage's vital role in justifying and legitimizing its power and ensuring its protection. Originality of the construction, finesse of execution of the bronze, testifying to a great mastery. Extremely rare piece.
