About this piece
Long arms, a long face, and nowhere in particular to be.
This seated female figure was cast in bronze by Dogon artisans of Mali, West Africa, in the mid 20th century. Bronze figures like it are commonly associated with ritual and ancestral themes. She sits with her legs folded and her arms stretched down along the body, hands resting at the knees. A pointed, crested head tops a stretched neck, and a necklace is incised across her chest. The surface is a mottled dark brown with pale green corrosion.
About 7 inches tall. Elongated, mysterious, and perfect for a bookshelf.
