Description from the seller

Cavalier - Dogon - Wood - Mali - 42 cm.

A very elegant Dogon cavalier from the Bandiagara region.
It is a male figure seated dignifiedly, holding in his left hand the reins and a curved staff resting on the shoulder in his right hand.
The face is finely carved. His hairstyle is a crest.
The appearance seems very dignified and solemn.
The wood is dense.
The dark patina, slightly cracked, shows that the piece is quite old.
It is in very good condition.
