Archaic Old Dogon Primordial Couple Sculpture, African

Item Details

Description

This is a rare and powerful old wood sculpture of the primordial ancestor couple, Dogon Peoples, Mali , West Africa.Carved wood with a well weathered surface suggesting use over many years. The sculpture features a seated male and female ancestor with archaic features. I am certain that there is some esoteric mystery to this pose we will likely never understand, but it is a remarkable example of the style and form and likely relates to ancestor worship.Sculptures such as this were traditionally placed on personal or village shrines and acted as a medium to the spirit world. The owner could call on the ancestor spirits for help with a number of maladies, including infertility. The figure itself measures 16 inches tall x 6.5 inches wide.
