    About this item

    An early 20thc bronze nostril from a bronze statue of a horse, mounted on a mahogany base.
    This piece has a green patination, probably from it being outside.
    Underneath this piece (also photographed) is the provenance from F/Lt J Jameson stating there was a bronze statue of Mussolini on horseback in Tripoli. The Royal Engineers needed some bronze & one night the statue was removed and then cut up and melted down. This nostril from the horse was acquired by F/Lt J Jameson in 1944 while he was stationed there.
    Mussolini travelled to Libya in 1937.
    This is a rare & important piece of Libyan history & quite interesting with the present problems in Libya.
