The surface is bordered with fine cast detailing: twisted rope-pattern edging, wavy line registers, and clusters of raised dots, all framing the central field. The lower edge terminates in a serrated, fringe-like border, and a looped suspension ring at the top confirms its use as a pendant, worn as a pectoral ornament by a chief, dignitary, or person of rank.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 36 x 14 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Cast bronze\/brass (lost-wax casting)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStyle: West African bronze-casting tradition (Baule\/Senufo region, Côte d'Ivoire), ram's-head motif\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFunction: Pectoral pendant \/ prestige ornament, worn as an insignia of status\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: Natural aged patina throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttribution note: Style and iconography consistent with West African cast-bronze regalia; precise ethnic attribution, workshop, and age not certified\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eA finely detailed example of West African lost-wax bronze casting, combining animal symbolism with the region's rich metalworking heritage.\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Alobalo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48217910083810,"sku":"ALB-BZE-008","price":148.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0825\/2201\/3922\/files\/1de6d1c9-0102-4044-82d8-ecde8fe69c8c.jpg?v=1786656708","url":"https:\/\/www.alobalo.shop\/products\/cast-bronze-pectoral-pendant-with-rams-heads-west-africa-tribal-art","provider":"Alobalo ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
