Description
DOGON, Mali. Hardwood with a deep ritual patina. A very ancient ‘Dege’ statuette associated with ancestor worship, depicting a standing male figure; the feet merge with the base of the plinth and the stocky body exudes a sense of the vital force ‘Nyama’ that exists within every Dogon. Early 20th century. Height: 20 cm. Signs of wear.
Provenance: Former Frank Bell collection, Cologne
