Description
Fetish
with arm raised, hand on face
Wood, thick crusty patina, wrought iron, old marks of time
Dogon, Cliffs region, Mali
Height: 25.5 cm
Among the Dogon, certain anthropomorphic figures were associated with ancestor worship and protective practices. The position of the forearms in front of the face suggests an attitude of contemplation or mediation with invisible forces. The narrow silhouette, slightly bent legs and thick sacrificial patina reinforce the ritual intensity and inner presence of this sculpture.
