Description from the seller
Dogon African tribal statue depicting, in a stylized manner, a bisexual ancestor in a dynamic pose with arms raised. This attitude is generally interpreted either as a gesture of contrition after an original sin, or as a call for rain. The surface features a thick, matte patina, marked by cracks from desiccation.
