Object: A Fine Miniature Teke Figure
Size: 4"
Age: Late 19th/Early 20th Century
Provenance: L. Bronson Collection, LA
Inventory numbers on bottom of base.
Notes: This miniature Teke packs quite a punch
for such a small piece. The body is very well
carved unlike most Teke, especially for a 4 inch
teke! The cubist lines are impressive. The magic
charge is long gone; but the exposed area shows
extremely oxidized wood from great age. The
patina is rich and deep with good signs of wear.
The old rope is original to the piece.
