Made in bronze, this sculpture presents a harmonious silhouette and carefully worked details that highlight the quality of modeling. The balanced volumes and the finesse of the finish give the whole a remarkable visual presence. The sobriety of the shapes and the elegance of the composition underline the richness of Dogon artistic inspiration.
