    101257  |  FRANCE. Water Buffalo Art Deco bronze uniface Plaque. Issued circa 1931. African animals series (75x51mm, 130.29 g). By M. ThĆ©not in Paris.

     

    Water buffalo standing right among the weeds and ferns. Edge: «cornucopia» BRONZE; a few light marks on the bottom side.

     

    Choice Mint State. Glossy bronze-brown surfaces.

     

    Likely issued around the time of the French colonial expo—held in Paris from May–November 1931—this is from a series of ten plaques sculpted by Maurice RenĆ© ThĆ©not displaying animals from Africa. All are rather imposing and feature the very much en vogue use of Art Deco.
