Description from the seller
Ritual Dogon bronze crown – Mali
Dogon bronzes occupy an important place in African art and are particularly sought after for their symbolic richness and their exquisite craftsmanship.
This remarkable bronze crown features an openwork structure supported by several anthropomorphic figures, evoking caryatids. It is adorned with fine wavy motifs and decorative reliefs that testify to the artisans' know-how. At the summit, a small sculpted figure completes the ensemble.
The Dogon are especially known for their rich cosmogony, their traditions, their myths, and their spiritual universe. Settled mainly in the region of the Bandiagara Escarpment, in Mali, they have developed a culture and an architecture that are particularly original.
An ancient and singular piece, ideal for an African art collection, offering both sculptural presence and symbolic dimension.
Origin: Mali – Dogon Country
Material: bronze
Provenance: African art collection
