About this piece
Two horns, two long arms, and no interest in small talk.
Dogon metalworkers of Mali, West Africa, cast this bronze figure of a horned male with crossed legs. Dogon bronzes are often associated with ritual, ancestry and the spirit world, though the meaning of any single piece is not something a photograph can settle. The body is a narrow column, the arms hang straight to the thighs, and the face rises to a pair of pointed horns. Fine pitted texture covers the brown surface. It stands on a square dark wood base.
About 18 inches tall with its base. Slender enough to share a shelf, stern enough to preside over it.
