Description:
Lovely couple leopards Benin. It is two leopards from different eras and with different patinas. The oldest is more damaged, missing part of a leg and has some small bug cast in the latest change has a different patina and is in better condition. In Benin (now Nigeria) have made these figures since ancient times. The patina of the old Leopard leads us to a minimum age of 100 years. Beautiful couple Lepardos of Benin, with a perfect, rare and very curious size. Data here are the personal opinions not proven.
