Item Details

Description

Carved from a dense heavy wood and showing obvious exposure to the elements. This Seated female features linear designs, large conical breast and holding what appears to be a bellows, perhaps suggesting a link to the blacksmith cult. The female has a classic coiffure and is shown seated on a stool supported by ancestor figures. From the Dogon peoples of Mali, West Africa. Measures 29 inches tall.

Condition

Overall strong and stable, one side has heavy erosion, likely it had fallen over on a shrine and was left there for some time. The sculpture is very strong and stable though, very hard wood.
