Description

**Originally Listed At $350**

Western Africa, Ghana, Akan peoples, ca. first half of the 20th century CE. A hand-carved wooden slingshot with a forked sling attachment and a handle depicting a seated figure.

Covered in lustrous brown patina, this is a wonderful example from Western Africa! Custom museum-quality display stand included. Size: 2.45" W x 5.9" H (6.2 cm x 15 cm); 6.75" H (17.1 cm) on included custom stand.
