A rare bronze statue of the Mambila people. The statue is a detailed figurative representation of a bird-like figure with a huge beak. I think the wings resemble those of a penguin. Due to the weight of this beak, the statue cannot stand independently. It has a beautiful greenish and crusty patina. You will see a casting flaw/damage on the back of the cup.
