Gan bronze bracelet.
Gan Bracelet (Poni Province, Burkina Faso)
Gan art, so often associated with foundry, reaches its highest levels when it creates accessories and body ornaments in which the recurring theme is the Volta River and the totemic animals that live within it. Pythons, turtles, monitors and crocodiles appear repeatedly in these pieces.
It is precisely an acrobatic crocodile that twists around itself that is the protagonist of the Gan bracelet that we present.
