Bronze Papua New Guinea Ancestor Figure
Ok so I know this is bronze, I know this has some real age and wear, and I know that this is modeled after ancestor figures from Papua New Guinea. I own two of these and I can’t find convincing comparables however. I bought these because I like them and I’m pretty well convinced of them having been handled quite a lot. Patina feels right, its substantial in the hand, and I do put a lot of value in that. I prefer items that I can convincingly make claims about based on tangible evidence but this is one of those weird ones that I’ll get kinda woo woo with and say it just fucking feels right. Just this guy available, I’m keeping the other one. So deal with it or make me a ridiculous offer for both and I’ll listen but likely ignore.
