A Lower Niger Bronze Bell Ex Dannenberg Collection

Item Details

Description

A very old cast copper alloy conical bell possibly dating to the 15th to 19th century, with human face in high relief and a loop on top, cast by the lost-wax method, this bell is attributed by scholars to the "Lower Niger Bronze Industry" style, an interim designation coined by William Fagg in 1959. It may have been part of a shrine's paraphernalia, and its motifs may symbolize physical aggression and supernatural powers. This bell measures 11.25 x 6 inches. Provenance: Ex Gerald Dannenberg collection, New York, also private New Jersey collection.
