African Tribal Art - Carved Wooden Cockerel from Senegal



SOLD

My partner's father was a diplomat and served a lot of time in West Africa. This was given to him almost 30 years ago in Senegal, quite possibly on a visit to a gaol. Since then it has travelled the world from Cameroon to Japan thence to Belgium and currently resides in the Pearl of the North, Crewe. It's in a light wood, painted black with the comb and wattle in red. It has a couple of dents here and there but it's difficult to say where he picked these up, they could be original. It stands evenly on both feet and is full of character.

32cm high x 37 long and 10cm wide.

Weight including packaging: In excess of 2kg. The quoted mail price of £9 is for Royal Mail Parcels as we tend to use Royal Mail for all our postal services but if I can find a cheaper option I will unless you are OK with this price. Please inform me at the end of the auction. Unfortunately no overseas postage on this item.
