About this piece
She kneels, hands on thighs, in a green-gray coat of age.
Dogon metalworkers of Mali, West Africa, cast this seated female figure in bronze in the mid 20th century. Small Dogon bronzes are commonly linked with ancestors and household shrines, though meanings vary. The figure kneels upright with bent legs tucked beneath her, arms straight and bracelets suggested at the wrists. Her face is narrow with a sharp nose and ears out to the sides. Verdigris greens collect in the recesses over a dark, brownish metal.
About 6 inches tall. Small enough to hold, and still quietly commanding.
