About this piece
A woman with a bowl in her lap, in the pale green of old metal.
Dogon founders of Mali, West Africa, cast this seated female figure in bronze in the 20th century. Seated figures with bowls are commonly read as offering or care, and vessel-bearing women recur throughout Dogon art. She sits with her legs stretched forward and her hands resting around a shallow bowl in her lap. A crest of braids rises from her head, above a long nose and small ears.
About 3 inches tall. Fits a windowsill, a mantel, or a long afternoon.
