Item Details

Description

wood, reddish brown patina with traces of black paint, encrusted in some areas, the body arranged in geometrical forms, helmet-shaped head with the typical arrow-shaped nose, min. dam. (breasts), crack (head backside and back), missing parts (base), the surface showing traces of weathering and insect caused damage, above all at the leg zone, base;
the bulging abdomen and the protective gesture of the hands refer to the depiction of a pregnant woman. According to G. Dieterlen figures with such a posture were used on altars intended for rituals dedicated to the souls of women who have died during pregnancy or childbirth. Among the Dogon, such a woman is never buried in the cemetery of her lineage, nor is a funerary pot ever placed in the family sanctuary for her. Her soul is banished and left to wander. However, a cult is established for her by a powerful healer, who is responsible for the altar mentioned above.
