A near identical piece as this one is on display at the Newfields Museum (Indianapolis Museum).

There is no doubt this is the same artist that made both pieces.  While it exactly the same, the similarities are outstanding. 

The dimensions are:

8" wide

6" deep

8.5" high to the too of the umbrella

The scene on this wooden base represents a royal procession. The central figure of a king is much larger than his attendants, possibly wives, because of his greater social importance. The king wears an elaborate robe, smokes a pipe and wears sandals unlike the other figures. The woman behind him holds a sun-sheltering umbrella, a status object in parts of Western and Northern Africa. She also carries the king's staff in the form of a fish.
