Dyonyeni AAA1218 sculpture

A Dyonyeni figure dedicated to motherhood

The Dyonyeni AAA1218 sculpture selected by Versmissen is a female wooden figure from the Bambara tradition of Mali. Dating from the mid-20th century, it depicts a pregnant woman and evokes fertility and prosperity. Its composition brings together several distinctive features: pronounced conical breasts, raised arms, spread feet and a head topped with a large bow. These details give the silhouette an immediately recognisable identity.

This Dyonyeni figurine bears witness to the culture and traditions of the Bambara people. Made of wood and preserved in good condition, it is presented as a unique piece from the mid-20th century. Its elongated proportions emphasise the figure's posture and the various carved elements. The sculpture measures 18 x 19 x 63 cm, a size that allows its formal expression and attributes to be clearly observed.
