'Papi Wata' visage(face) bronze fish hook

$72.00

Description

Drawing inspiration from anglers & the practicality of the fish hook on their hats, we decided to make our own using bronze.

Translating the artisan traditions & heritage techniques of African bronze making into a contemporary context, we started prototyping using the lost wax casting method in Benin City, Edo state, Nigeria & ended up in Dakar, Senegal.

Things to note

Due to the handcrafted nature of these hooks, no two will look the same. Please expect various degrees of texture as it's a testament to the artisan’s handiwork.

We work very hard to ensure our products are displayed as accurately as possible so the color you see on the screen is as close as possible to the color you receive.
