One of my favorite pieces of African art when I was a kid was a cast iron coin bank in the form of an African male head with a hand that you put the coin into and, when you pushed the lever on the side, the hand pivoted and the coin was deposited between the head’s substantial lips. And someone once gave my parents a replica sculpture of an African woman with an elongated neck with coiled metal around it, huge ears with metal inserts to elongate them, and huge lips. The wood looked like ebony. Similar to the fretboard on my favorite old Gibson guitar. I think that the coin bank was a replica since the real original ones are now worth good money. There’s collectors for about anything these days. I’d even bet somewhere in the USA (probably in the south) there’s got to be a lawn jockey museum.
You know the lawn jockey was originally white? No joke.
