YORUBA, HORSEMAN 4, 44", $5000, SOLD
These brightly painted igures were placed on altars in shrines or displayed
at special ceremonies. Important individuals and ancestors were often displayed
on horseback to support their status as great warriors or leaders. This
one is depicted in colonial wear.
This large horseman shows no signs of use and was probably made for the
art market.
