Crocodile with prey
Crocodile with its prey. The size and shape of the punched patterns on the reptile's back would suggest that the artefact was made by the Fon people. The animal in the mouth is held in place by a rivet. It could be a stylised fish. "Crocodile with fish in mouth" is a recurring motif in Ghana and Benin.Author: Michael Schönhuth
