The statue was a well known monument until Coventry Zoo closed in 1980.
The head of a statue of a Zulu warrior which used to stand at a zoo's entrance will be put on public display after it was bought by an antiques dealer.Most of it was crushed apart from the statue's head and the tip of the spear and was bought this month by Tony Pedley.Mr Pedley found out about the pieces of the statue when he said a friend had called him about a man he had known who "had it in his loft for 30 years".
When the statue and spear tip are delivered to him later this week, he said they would go on a wall at the shop "in pride of place" but did not want to reveal how much he had paid for them.BBC Sounds how Tony Pedley acquired the statue's head and spear tip"The crown's broken so I've got a guy making me a bit of a new crown and we just need to give it a bit of TLC," Mr Pedley said.
