Description from the seller

Wooden Dogon statue – Mali – Traditional sculpture

This wooden statue comes from the Dogon culture in Mali, recognized for the richness of its sculptural traditions and the depth of its symbolic universe. Sculpted figures hold an important place in ritual and social practices, often linked to ancestors and spiritual forces, participating in the transmission of values and narratives within the community.

The piece stands out for its balanced composition and for the stylization of forms that is characteristic of the Dogon aesthetic. The woodwork emphasizes a strong sculptural presence, reinforced by a patina tied to time and use. The overall work exudes a sober and structured aesthetic, whose interpretation fits a decidedly contemporary approach, particularly appreciated in interiors and current decorative trends.
