About this piece
A slim man with a goatee, upright and unbothered, on a square black base.
Dogon artists of Mali, West Africa, forged this standing male figure with a goatee in iron in the 20th century. Iron figures in Dogon communities are often associated with protection and ancestors. This one stands tall and narrow, arms at its sides, with a pointed beard, almond eyes, and a rounded cap-like head. The metal is smooth and glossy, almost black, with gentle surface shine.
About five and a half inches tall. A dark, elegant presence for a narrow shelf.
