Dogon maternity figure holding two children, Mali 15" tall wood, pigment, metal staples
SOLD
Maternity figures are prominent icons in many cultures throughout Africa. They often times represent fertility and prosperity and often times represented the primordial mother or a legendary founding ancestor.
Despite its appearance, I believe this object was made specifically for the collecting market.
