西非中部西部地区的许多不同民族中存在铜铸人像的传统，包括多贡人、博佐人和布基纳法索的各个群体。这个造型精良的小型雕像来自马里，由多贡人制作。该雕塑是一名留着胡须、跪姿射箭的男性。

铜、黄铜和铁制的人像与多贡人的创世神话相关，因为铁匠是被称为诺姆莫的最早原初存在之一，由阿玛（Ama）创造，他是多贡的重要神祇之一。诺姆莫与铁匠的同一身份建立了一种纽带与认同，使铁匠获得特殊力量，其中包括召雨的能力，这在多贡生活中极为重要。此类雕像通常置于比努圣所，比努圣所是多贡人收藏具有魔法意义之物的神圣庇护所。这件雕塑体现了多贡铁匠的艺术性、力量与权威，因为正是他还雕刻了多贡人使用的著名木雕。

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.
