Wooden fish – Bozo – Mali

This wooden sculpture representing a fish is attributed to the Bozo of Mali, a people living mainly along the Niger River and recognized for their close connection with the aquatic environment. Fishing plays an important role in their lifestyle and culture, where the river constitutes an essential source of subsistence and a major element of community identity. Through its form and subject, this piece evokes the aquatic world and the artistic heritage of the riverine communities of Mali.

Through its expressive silhouette and sculptural character, this object testifies to the diversity of forms of creation in African art. It will find its place in a specialized collection or in a contemporary interior, where it will bring a singular touch and a dialogue between cultural heritage and contemporary aesthetics. An interesting piece for collectors and lovers of African art who are sensitive to animal representations and their cultural dimension.
