Description from the seller
Ritual Dogon bronze crown – Mali
The Dogon bronzes occupy an important place in African art and are particularly prized for their symbolic richness and their fine craftsmanship.
This remarkable bronze crown features an openwork structure supported by several anthropomorphic figures, evoking caryatids. It is adorned with delicate wavy motifs and decorative reliefs that testify to the artisans’ skill. At the top, 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 architecture that are particularly original.
An ancient and singular piece, ideal for a collection of African art, offering both sculptural presence and symbolic dimension.
Origin: Mali – Dogon Country
Material: bronze
Provenance: collection of African art
