Two hairpins, Lobi, Burkina Faso, 19th-20th centuries

Descriptio Wrought iron. Measurements: 16 and 19 cm in length. Set of two ornamental pins made of wrought iron, with an elongated structure and handcrafted in the Lobi metalworking tradition. The pieces have slender profiles and slight variations in form, with simple and functional finials. The surface retains a dark patina, oxidation, and irregularities characteristic of hand-worked iron and consistent with its age. Lot in international warehouse (within the EU). Intra-EU shipping: no import duties apply within the EU. An export permit from the country of origin may be required. Due to its age and history of use, this lot may show signs of wear and previous interventions. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, no specialized technical testing has been performed. The absence of any mention of restorations does not guarantee that none exist. You may request additional information before placing a bid. This does not affect the buyer’s statutory rights.
