Description
African iron coin, early 20th century – African Art Chiselled metal with a turned wooden base. Measures 53 x 17 x 7 cm. A vertical piece with a strong sculptural presence, formed from a cut and engraved metal sheet with a curved profile and a semicircular edge, mounted on a turned wooden support for display. The surface features linear incisions and rhythmic textures that reinforce its ritual and ornamental character, whilst the design synthesises functionality, symbolism and visual power. The silhouette is reminiscent of coin-axe models or emblems of prestige associated with Central African traditions, where worked metal takes on social and ceremonial significance. The piece lends itself clearly to museographic interpretation, highlighting the graphic quality of the chiselling and the abstract power of its profile.
