Thank’s a lot Tim for your message !!
Looking for fish symbolism in Wedt Africa
I found these interesting informations in a nice book ,
Yes it may be a Recade from Dahomey ,
maybe of Gbéhanzin king or made durîng same périod ? Cf pictures.
He was represented as a shark or a freshwater fish .
Cf picture of the shark statue from Quai Branly Muséum in Paris
If it is a lungfish, yes it make sense to be associated with rebirth, long life and rain.
