Description

Rare 1950's Black Lady African Negress Dress Clip signed KEIM Ltd, London - made of brass it is in excellent vintage condition, an unusual piece that will surely delight - it reminds me very much of the work of Dora Gordine very popular sculpturess of the period - measuring over 3" inch long overall, it is certainly a special collectable piece - as always a nice low start and no reserve.
