Dogon statue, Mali Wood H. 81 cm Important... - Lot 36 - Giquello
Dogon statue, Mali Wood H. 81 cm Important sculpture representing a character with a protruding chest, the torso framed by the raised line of arms stretching continuously from the pelvis to the shoulders. The head is shell-shaped, the minimalist face marked by a few incisions forming the nose, the mouth and the ears. These different characteristics link this particularly powerful statue to the archaic style known as Niongom, of which various sculptures have been dated to around the 15th-16th century. Provenance : - Dr Gaston Durville - Cornette de Saint Cyr, July 3, 2007, n° 118 - Auction Art Rémy Le Fur (Paris), December 3, 2018, n° 159
