Figurine tribale d’Afrique de l’ouest - 像 - Unknown

Expert

Selected by Dimitri André

Le fait que la statuette soit extrêmement lourde (plus d'un kilo pour seulement 23 cm) témoigne de la forte densité du métal. Pour la société Ogboni, le métal lourd (parfois renforcé par un noyau de fer) symbolise la durabilité, la justice immuable et la force, selon leur célèbre devise : « Vieillis et sois toujours aussi fort que le fer ».
