Copper Folk Art

A fantastically hand-crafted piece by the Kota (or Bakota) tribe who are located in the northeastern region of Gabon. This figure, which is a Mahongwe reliquary figure as exhibited with its truncated almond-shaped face, is made of wound copper, hammered brass and wood. Reliquary figures were used as guardians to protect the revered bones of venerated family ancestors and leaders and ward off unwanted spirits. These figures are meant to embody intense powers and were also commonly used in communal rites and ritual performances. This particular piece came from an American collector who traveled the African continent and collected African artifacts for over 50 years. This piece has a beautiful, organically aged patina acquired naturally over time and use. It is mounted on a custom wooden display stand. We believe it dates back to the early to mid-1900s but could be older. We are listing as 20th century because we did not have it appraised. This African Tribal Statue Osseyba or Reliquary Figure Kota (Bakota) Mohongwe Peoples decorative art would clearly stand out as part of a collection or by itself in any setting. Truly unique, eye-catching and engaging. Dimensions on stand: 25 3/4" High, 7" Wide, 5 1/2" Deep Kota Reliquary...

A striking mixed-metal modernist necklace designed and handcrafted in Mexico in the 1960s by the renowned jewelry studio Taller Maya. This bold and sculptural piece showcases the studio’s signature use of hammered brass, copper, and patinated detailing, arranged in an interconnected geometric chain supporting a large circular pendant with richly textured, multi-tonal hammered surfaces. The necklace features alternating hammered links, copper accent rings, and round decorative medallions, all connected with Taller Maya’s characteristic hand-forged techniques. The large pendant—layered with concentric hammered textures—creates a dramatic focal point that embodies the expressive and culturally rooted aesthetic for which the studio is celebrated. The piece retains its original hallmark: “Maya” and “Mexico” Measurement: Length: 16.50 in (41.9 cm) This necklace is an excellent example of mid-20th-century Mexican modernist jewelry...
