About this Item

South African 1938-1999
Whistling Figure

stamped Kumalo and numbered 2/7

bronze with a dark brown patina and steel base
including base, height: 93cm, width: 26; depth: 20cm

Notes

Although bearing Kumalo’s stamped signature, this is a much later casting of Legae’s 1971 work, One Armed Figure. The Kumalo stamp was done in error, presumably. Other castings with the Kumalo stamp have been catalogued as Figure with Head Back (Whistling Boy).
