About this piece
Two figures share one bench and, evidently, one long silence.
Dogon artists of Mali, West Africa, cast this seated couple in bronze in the 20th century. Paired seated figures are widely associated with Dogon ideas of ancestry, balance and the union of man and woman. Here the two sit shoulder to shoulder on a barred stool, long arms drawn down against their thighs, each topped by a narrow crest of hair. The metal has darkened to a deep, glossy brown, rubbed lighter along the ridges of the limbs.
About 10 inches tall. Quiet company for a bookshelf, and they will not interrupt.
