Description from the seller

Anthropomorphic statuette showing two overlapping figures.
It is a couple: the female figure is on top with arms raised.
They appear nude and the body shapes are characteristic of the Komakan sub-group.
High-relief sculpture, squat appearance and rather schematic forms.
This kind of statue is not common in the Dogon Country.
It was collected south of the Bandiagara Cliff.
This one measures 50 cm in height and remains in good condition.
