About this piece
More leg than anything else, which is the point.
Dogon casters of Mali, West Africa, made this standing female figure in bronze in the 20th century. Cast metal women are commonly associated with ritual and household use in Dogon communities. The head is small and pointed, with brow and nose running in one clean line. The arms bend inward at the chest, and a ringed band marks the waist. Below, the legs stretch long and stiff, with a ring at each ankle.
About 6 inches tall and an inch wide. Impeccable posture, no slouching permitted.
