About this piece
He raises the club. We never learn what for.
Dogon metalworkers of Mali, West Africa, cast this figure of a man with a club in bronze in the 20th century. Small cast figures are commonly connected to altars and personal protection. The man stands with a long, narrow body and slightly bent knees. He grips a club upright in front of his chest with both hands. The head is long and tapered, with the face reduced to a nose and eyes. The bronze is dark, with green in the recesses, and he stands on a square black base.
About four and a half inches tall. Intent, upright and easily overlooked until you look.
