West Africa, Central Mali, Bamana or Dogon peoples, ca. early to mid-20th century CE. A fine freestanding wrought iron sculpture of a warrior or hunter standing upright on slender legs that support a long torso, and narrow head. Viewed from the side, the head is notched to create an angular profile and triangular headdress. The chest is incised with linear markings, either scarification or tattoos, and one narrow arm holds a separately wrought iron spear, and the other hand is curled, as if it also held another weapon on implement. Size: 2.875" W x 7.7" H (7.3 cm x 19.6 cm); 8.3" H (21.1 cm) on included custom stand.
