顶级非洲艺术拍卖（Montagut画廊）

青铜铸像的传统在非洲西部中部的多民族中都有发现，包括 Dogon、Bozo 以及布基纳法索的各群体。這尊造型精细的小型雕像来自马里，是由 Dogon 制作的。这件雕塑是一位留着胡须、跪姿射箭的男子。

青铜、黄铜与铁制的雕像被与 Dogon 的创世神话联系在一起，因为铁匠是被 Ama 创造的初始神祇之一 Nommo。Nommo 与铁匠之间的身份认同产生一种纽带，使铁匠获得特殊能力，包括召雨的能力，这在 Dogon 的生活中极为重要。像这样的雕像会被安置在 Binu 圣所，这是 Dogon 用来保存具有神秘力量物件的神圣庇护所。

这件雕塑体现了 Dogon 铁匠的艺术才能、力量与权威，因为正是他还雕刻了 Dogon 使用的知名木雕像。

Tradition of bronze cast figures are found among a number of different peoples of the Western central Africa including the Dogon, Bozo and the various groups of Burkina Faso. This well modeled miniature figure comes from Mali and was made by the Dogon . The sculpture is a bearded man kneeling to fire an arrow.

Bronze, Brass and iron figures are identified with Dogon myths of creation, as the blacksmith was one of the first primordial beings known as Nommo created by Ama who is one of the major Dogon deities. The identity between the Nommo and the blacksmith creates a bond and an identity that gives the blacksmith special powers which include the ability to call down rain so important in Dogon life. Figures such as this would be placed in the Binu sanctuary, a sacred shelter where the Dogon keep objects of magical importance. This sculpture reflects the artistry, power, and authority of the Dogon blacksmith, as it was he who also carved the well-known wooden sculptures used by the Dogon.
