About this piece
Her horns curve upward like a crescent moon.
This bronze figure of a horned female with crossed legs was made by Dogon metalworkers in Mali, West Africa. The Dogon are widely known for cast figures that often relate to ancestors, fertility and ritual, though specific meanings vary by piece. Here a necklace line and small breasts mark the torso, and the long arms hang close to the body. The surface is dotted with fine texture and carries a mossy brown tone. The legs cross at the base above a plain block of dark wood.
About 18 inches tall including the base. A companion in spirit to its male counterpart, and equally composed.
