Such heads are often believed to be even older in origin than the full figures and are seen by some as their forerunners. Good condition with slight traces of wear and tear. The wooden head is decorated with copper strips.Object: Byeri headEthnic group/ culture: FangRegion/ country: GabonMaterial: Wood, brassPeriod: 2nd half 20th centuryCondition: GoodDimensions: 26x12x10 cmWeightl: 700 gReserve: $80.00Shipping:Domestic: Flat-rate of $39.00 to anywhere within the contiguous U.S.International: Foreign shipping rates are determined by destination.
