What does this mean?

Hi again Floyd.

Thanks for these interesting African objects! This item appears to be a figurative ceremonial lidded vessel in the style of Cameroon people in West Africa. Other than some surface wear and minor losses, the object seems to be in good condition. However, it appears the vessel was meant to be stored on a base, that does not seem to be present. This is a common occurrence in the African art market trade because portions of object may not be legal to transport or trade.

The estimate provided is based on recent auction estimates and results of similar objects in a comparable size. Please stay safe and take care.
