Man on Horseback
A carved wooden figure of a man on horseback. He is carrying a large spear in one had, whilst holding the reins in the other, and is wearing a cap. Though the Glasgow Museum catalogue notes that it might be a Mende carving, the style of carving is more likely to be Nigerian or from the Cote d Ivoire. This may point towards it being for commercial use.
