Description from the seller
Ancient African sculpture – Probable Mali manufacture, Dogon area.
Fascinating African sculpture of probable origin Mali-Dogon.
This work embodies the symbolic and spiritual strength of a people, an authentic expression of a culture that has profoundly influenced the artistic and anthropological history of the African continent.
The peculiarity of this statue lies in its simple and elementary construction, which gives the work a primitive and genuine character, suggesting a rather ancient craftsmanship.
The wood, marked by time, displays a pleasing natural wear and a wonderful ancient patina, elements that attest to its age and enhance its charm and authenticity. All these details suggest an advanced age.
The sculpture is mounted on an elegant wooden pedestal, which enhances its presence and stability.
Total height (with pedestal): 51 cm
Height of the statue: 40 cm
Careful shipping with an express courier and dedicated protective packaging.
