Dimitri André

A Gwandusu mother and child sculpture, Jo society, Mali, sitting on a stool, her bust is long, thin an cylindric in shape, her shoulders thin and square, her thin arms fall down, then fold at a horizontal and join in the middle of her stomach, where she is carrying the small infant. Her neck is thin an cylindric in shape, a rounded head at its end, with simple calming features, the top of the head is a cone, her hairdo falls downwards and looks quite organic in shape as upside down stems with their buds; the sculpture has thick incrusted patina, aged cracks.
