About this piece
Arms out, as if about to say something important.
Dogon casters of Mali, West Africa, made this standing female figure in bronze in the 20th century. Dogon cast figures are commonly associated with ritual use and personal altars. She reaches both arms outward and slightly forward, the hands ending in small rounded points. The face is stark and angular, with a downturned mouth. A narrow torso carries small round breasts and a waist band above bent legs. Blue-green patina spreads over dark metal on a low black base.
About 4 inches tall. Stage presence, in a small package.
