Description from the seller
Djenné Terracotta - “Statue of a Sick Person”
Mopti Region, Mali
Terracotta, incl stand.
The seated figure is modeled in an unusually condensed pose. The upright torso rises from strongly bent legs; the arms are held close to the body, while one hand grasps the shoulder or chest. The head, body, and limbs are covered with numerous sculpted nodules and bumps. The facial features - a protruding mouth, a strong nose, and closed or only suggested eyes - appear tense and introspective. The light, ochre-colored terracotta with reddish areas and mineral inclusions reinforces the earthy, almost corporeal character of the surface.
The work belongs to the terracotta tradition of the Middle Niger Inland Delta around Djenné and Djenné-Jeno in the present-day Mopti Region. Remarkably individualized anthropomorphic sculptures were created there, particularly between the 12th and 16th centuries. Archaeologically confirmed examples include seated, kneeling, and equestrian figures, as well as depictions with jewelry, body markings, and sculpted skin changes.
The traditional designation as a "statue of a sick person" gains particular plausibility from the striking body protrusions: Comparable Djenné terracotta sculptures have been interpreted as possible representations of pustules or diseases. However, their original function remains unclear. This is precisely where the figure's powerful effect lies: Illness does not appear as an abstract condition, but is visibly inscribed on the body.
