Description from the seller

Cimier - Bambara - Wood - Mali - 73 cm
Tyiwara from the Bougouni region in Mali.
It combines two quadrupeds, one on top of the other.
On the upper one sits a figure.
A monoxyle (single-block) wood sculpture of great complexity for the sculptor.
The whole piece is highly aesthetic.
The wood is fairly dark, with a beautiful patina.
The 73 cm object is in good condition despite a branch that is cracked as you can see in the photo.
Private collection.
