AAA864 Dogon sculpture

A Dogon figure supported by four Nommo

The Dogon AAA864 sculpture selected by Versmissen is a natural wood statue from Mali, dating from the 20th century. It depicts a seated female figure with her hands resting on her stomach as a sign of fertility. Her oval face is brought to life by large expressive eyes and a smiling mouth, while her hairstyle is carefully crafted.

The main figure rests on four Nommo ancestral figures arranged in a symmetrical, geometric composition. Carved in relief, they are presented as ancestors regarded as figures of authority. This arrangement creates a figurative base that extends the statue's visual narrative. Measuring 25 x 23,5 x 68 cm, the piece has a vertical silhouette in which the seated figure and the four supports form a cohesive composition.
