2 African brass figures- 1.) Benin Kingdom, Nigeria- Brass figure. Cast bronze figures depicting the king, queen mother, and important chiefs were used on altars commemorating deceased rulers; 2.) Akan Peoples- Brass seated figure. Small brass figures were once used as gold weights, but over time became larger and more elaborate in their depictions. This one shows a seated figure on a royal stool. It likely illustrates a proverb. 10''; 6''
