AAA156 Dogon sculpture

A standing Dogon figure with raised arms

Originating from Mali, this Dogon prayer sculpture dates from the mid-20th century. Versmissen presents it under reference AAA156. Carved from natural-colored wood, it depicts a standing figure with raised arms. Its 32 x 32 x 85 cm format emphasizes the figure's verticality and gesture.

The figure has an oval face with harmonious features, large expressive eyes and a smiling mouth. A carefully crafted hairstyle completes the sculpture. The raised-arm position gives the work a spiritual dimension: it is presented as a symbol of the connection between humans and the divine. This unique piece combines a clearly identifiable prayer posture with detailed craftsmanship of the face and hair.
