About this piece
A tall figure holds a bowl at its waist and waits.
Dogon artists of Mali, West Africa, cast this standing figure with an offering bowl in bronze in the 20th century. Figures holding vessels are commonly associated with offerings and ritual. The slender body is elongated, with a long face, small features and thin arms bent around a shallow bowl. Wire bracelets circle the wrist and ankle, and a black mount holds it. The metal is a polished golden brown with darker recesses.
About seven inches tall. Elegant and still, with excellent posture.
