The listing, African Animal Effigy has ended.
This piece was acquired at Brimfield years ago. There were two gentlemen selling very similar animal effigies at separate stands on the flea market grounds. One proclaimed that his were antiques out of Liberia while the gentleman from whom I purchased this told me that these were cast from spent brass (old ammunition shells) in post war Siera Leone. I've not been able to verify that but it's plausible I guess. I forget what I payed back then but the story the gentleman told me of his experiences growing up in a civil war torn country made me spend more on this then I had originally intended lol. Either way, he's a handsome little fellow as far as Wart Hogs go anyways. The winning bid receives the animal only. I pictured the round for reference only, I don't think USPS would let me mail that along. Please do not ask me to lower my starting bid, I do ship for free in the U.S. Happy bidding
