Fon recade

Just remembered to add that a roughness of finish is part some Fon art expression. Being that it was silver plated perhaps it is from someone a little higher up in the food chain.

Just got this ebay example. A good deal more substancial than the one I have. The example I already have, the wood part is less than 1/2 inch diametre. This new one being 1 inch diametre but the same length just over 19 inchs. I think it is pretty cool and I really like the way the lion head is broken into two parts, the mane and head being seperate. This treatment is so unusual for me. It is a deliberate not formed from lack of skill.
