A terracotta sculpture from Mali, Ségou Region, attributed to the Bankoni tradition of the Bamana culture, with a height of 25 cm, weight 1 kg, in fair condition, authentic/original, and sold without a stand.
Description from the seller
Bankoni テラコッタ - マリ共和国セグ地域
seated terracotta figure derives its impact from an unusually dynamic, almost tectonic form. The angled legs create a broad base, while the elongated torso rises upright. Arms and hands are sculpted with a three-dimensional quality; breasts and other body details appear amidst robust, sometimes fragmented volumes. The tall, upright head or headdress reinforces the verticality. The light ochre, porous surface with reddish traces, abrasions, and soil encrustations clearly preserves the piece's archaeological character.
The work can be attributed to the so-called Bankoni terracotta tradition. This term refers to archaeological figures that were first excavated at Bankoni near Bamako; related works are known from across a larger area of southern Mali, extending to the Ségou and Bougouni regions. Because only a few sites have been systematically investigated, the identity of the makers and the original function of the figures remain largely unknown. A direct ethnic equivalence between these medieval terracotta figures and the present-day Bamana is therefore not certain. Comparable Malian terracotta figures are generally dated to the 11th–16th centuries; their complex poses and attributes suggest socially or ritually significant representations.

Legal Framework
Under the 1970 UNESCO Convention in combination with the Kulturgutschutz Gesetz (KGSG) any claim for the restitution of cultural property becomes time-barred three years after the competent authorities of the State of origin obtain knowledge of the object’s location and the identity of its possessor.
All bronzes and terracotta items offered have been publicly exhibited in Wolfgang Jaenicke Gallery since 2001. Organisations such as DIGITAL BENIN and academic institutions such as the Technical University of Berlin, which have been intensively involved in restitution-reseaches (translocation-project) over the past seven years, are aware of our work, have inspected large parts of our collection and have visited us in our dependance in Lomé, Togo, among other places, to learn about the international Art trade on site. Furthermore, the National Commission for Museums and Monuments (NCMM) in Abuja, Nigeria, has been informed about our collection. In no case in the past have there been restitution claims against private institutions such as the Wolfgang Jaenicke Gallery
Our Gallery addresses these structural challenges through a policy of maximum transparency and documentation. Should any questions or uncertainties arise, we invite you to contact us. Each matter will be reviewed diligently using all available resources.
