Dogon, Mali.

Weathered look. Height 20"


Dogon sculptural figures such as this one, could be owned by a family, an individual or the community. If owned by the community, they were not supposed to be seen, except at appointed times and by relevant elders.

This one has a weathered look and is sublimely surrealistic.

Was supposedly used for ancestor cult.
