Mother and Child Sculpture

The Dogon sculptures, as prayer and offering centers, were altars that intensified spiritual commitment and divine attention. Often called upon to overcome infertility, these works, like the maternal figure, visually express women's persistent prayers to create life. Each element, original and highly personalized, explores the essence of the parent-child relationship. Measuring 25x26.5x114 cm, this 20th-century wooden sculpture comes from the Dogon tribe in Mali.
