Dogon wooden arm sculpture from Mali, dating to the late 18th century, 30 cm high, from a private collection, with stand, in acceptable condition, original authenticity.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A singular and rare arm of a Dogon horseman, the opposite of the one that held the reins, and he used to wield a spear.

The concept "acceptable state" I have referenced exclusively to this important fragment; it is part of an important figure that is preserved in an "acceptable state".

Hard wood and an excellent patina of "crout" originated by multiple ablutions of offerings.

Height: 30 cm.

Seller's Story

PRIMITIVE ART IN GENERAL, ESPECIALLY AFRICAN. ORIGINATING FROM PRIVATE COLLECTIONS OR ACQUIRED AT PROFESSIONAL GALLERIES OR INTERNATIONAL AUCTIONS.
