Description from the seller

Bronze Dogon statue – Mali

This bronze statue is attributed to the Dogon people of Mali, renowned for the symbolic richness of their art and for ancestral traditions deeply linked to spirituality. Dogon sculptures occupied an important place in ritual and communal life, serving as intermediaries between the visible world and spiritual forces. The elongated silhouette, balanced proportions, and the sober expression of the figure convey the major characteristics of Dogon aesthetics, recognized for its expressive strength and symbolic dimension.

The bronze work reveals a fine artisanal mastery, with finely executed details and a surface with warm-toned nuances. The patina developed over time accentuates the authentic character of the piece while highlighting its elegant lines. Its aesthetics, both traditional and contemporary, give the whole a remarkable decorative presence, particularly appreciated by collectors of African art and Primitive arts.
