Description
This is a very nice older example of the Dogon Equestrian art works from Mali, West Africa. carved from a single piece of dense and heavy wood, featuring a tall and noble warrior with bow and quiver. Such works of art were typically the property of the elite members of the tribe and depicted only important chiefs and ancestors who could afford such a luxury of a Horse! But even the sculpture was a sign of prestige in a Dogon home. The Statue measures 33 inches tall x 17 inches long.
Condition
