Hello and welcome to my private auction!
This Dogon artefact is one of my most beautiful items in my collection. It is an original, handmade artefact that was handed over to me from a local "artisan" in the Djenné region of Mali.
A representation of the Dogon culture, it presents itself with intriguing and meticulous details. Please understand that it has some minor signs of its age. In my opinion, it is truly a hand-crafted masterpiece; please look at all the pictures. It has always been stored inside a glass showcase.
MATERIAL: African bronze. Lost-wax casting process, brown patina.
PROVENANCE: Private collection, originally from the Djenné region, in Mali (collected in situ).
SPECS: 26 cm length, about 15 cm height. Its weight is about 1,2 kg.
Insured shipping with Track & Trace, usually via UPS.
