Bronze cast (alloy of copper and tin, dark patinated) from Cameroon, with a lattice-like armor structure, ("Africa & House" Munich, Ann Dörr), size 12.5 cm. A rather bold comparison: the headdress of an Oba (king) from the Bristol Museum or an Iyoba (queen mother) from the Ethnological Museum in Berlin already have a similar structure in the famous Benin bronzes (from neighboring Nigeria).
