Tall Dogon Nommo Male Ancestor Praying For Rain

Item Details

Description

A tall carved wooden shrine sculpture of a Male ancestor with his hands raised into the air. This posture has usually been interpreted as a gesture of prayer—an effort to link earth and heavens—and it has been suggested that it may represent an appeal for rain. This Dogon figure depicts a man with a well-modeled body in a naturalistic stance. The artist has carefully rendered the figure's anatomical detail, and body ornament including a wonderful stachel on his side .The figure wears wristlets, armlets, and anklets that indicate his status, as well as neck pendants resembling leather talismans that also suggest his spiritual importance. The figure measures 44 x 8 inches. Dogon peoples, Mali, Africa.
