Antique Benin Cast Bronze Crocodile Statue
Circa 1800 - 1860
Lovely patina to the belly, where it hasn't been polished which shows ...it's age, it is believed to be Victorian in manufacture but maybe earlier. This crocodile was gifted to my Grandmother by an African missionary when she was a little girl in the 1920's.
