Artistic Style: This statue belongs to a decorative style known as Blackamoor (or Venetian Blackamoor), which originated in Europe—primarily Venice, Italy—during the Renaissance and Baroque periods. These pieces typically depict stylized African figures in exotic, colorful attire like turbans, sashes, and patterned tunics.

Material & Finish: Pieces like this are usually cast from patinated bronze, brass, or iron, and then finished using a technique called "cold painting," where layers of colored enamel or oil paint are applied directly to the metal casting without firing
Condition: Excellent - like new, no scratches, chips or other damage
