Description from the seller

This Dogon iron Ginna figure, small in size but has a strong presence. Standing in an upright position with both arms outstretched. Very angular head shape with minimal if any signs of facial features, nice encrusted patina due to being libated over the years.

Provenance: Jean-Michel Huguenin Collection, Paris
