Description from the seller

Statuette / amulet, Dogon culture, Mali. H.16cm

Beautiful and old Dogon statuette from Mali. The sculpture has weathered the passage of time. The face is damaged and mysterious, as is the rest of its body. The figure's pose conveys strength and dignity. Its presence is disturbing, alive. Beautiful dry patina, aged. The classic Dogon sculpture is a marvel of African art.

The sculpture is sold as is. It is stable, with no insects or wood diseases. The photos are part of the description. A beautiful old and authentic collectible piece. Circa 1930/50.

Provenance :
- Private collection, France.
