Fine Old Dogon Female Senou Maternity sculpture

Item Details

Description

This is a very fine old carved wooden Mother & Child / Maternity sculpture from the Senou region of Mali, West Africa and the Dogon peoples. The sculpture features an elegant female Mother holding her child in her arms, with very fine incised and scar patterns and shown seated on a stool supported by multiple legs. Figures such as this belong to female societies and were used for the education of young girls. They were displayed at funerals and presumably on certain fertility and rain-making rituals as well. According to H. Leloup they were called "so-ma-so" ("listen to me"), and were associated with education and with prayers for fertility.Measures 15.25 (17 inches tall on custom display stand)
