Kotoko, Logone and Chari region, southwestern Chad. 7 x 6 cm and 5.5 x 5.5 cm Provenance according to information provided: Galerie Maine Durieu, Paris. Among the Kotoko people, who settled around Lake Chad, these small metal horsemen served as personal talismans, worn as pendants on necklaces or bracelets.
