This sculpture was created by the artist Soré from Burkina Faso.
Working with bronze is a traditional craft in Burkina Faso. The bronze comes from recycled old fittings, such as taps or parts from air-conditioning systems. The artist first creates a wax model, which is covered with a mixture of sand, clay and manure. Once the mould is dry, it is fired so that the wax melts and runs out through openings.
