ANCESTOR FIGURE - Mali - Dogon - Lot 329
ANCESTOR FIGURE - Mali - Dogon Late 19th – early 20th century. Wood, dark, crusty patina. Dimensions: 54 cm. A figure with distinctive Dogon facial features: an arrowhead-shaped nose, a triangular head, a small, full-lipped mouth, and round eyes. The headdress is decorated with striations; the neck is shaped like a square tray, the corners of which end in small cylinders that form the junction between the head and the shoulders—which are also shaped like a tray. The slender arms hang at the sides of the body, and the hands appear to rest on the thighs. Research and documentation: Coryse Mwape, art historian specializing in ancient African art. Internal ref.: 339
