A charming group of four traditional African or tribal folk art musician figures, cast in a style reminiscent of the lost-wax Dhokra or West African bronze casting techniques. The set includes a flute or horn player with an elongated, curved headdress, two drummers operating tall vertical cylindrical drums, and a fourth musician playing a large kettle-style drum resting on his lap. Each figure is rendered with primitive, stylized, elongated limbs and stands affixed to a square metal baseplate. The surfaces feature an aged, dark-brown to black finish with areas of natural sandy casting residue and a rugged, heavily textured patina typical of artisanal crucible casting methods.
