Dogon statuette, Mali
Wood
H. 23,5 cm
Female statuette with stylized, minimalist volumes. The figure is represented standing on short bent legs, the feet melted into a cylindrical base echoing the head of the same construction. Rhythm rendered by the projection of the body elements represented by geometrical shapes; small conical chest, angular demarcated shoulders, prominent umbilicus projected forward, pelvis accentuated by recessed thighs and small bent legs. Striking formal contrast between the "cubist" upper body and the lower body, all curves and roundness. Crusty patina.
