Former Belgian private collection
African sculpture representing a motionless subject in a rare tilting movement. The surface of the sculpture is dry, marked by traces of various libations and marks of deep erosions and cracks.
Dogon statues are generally carved to order of specific families, but they can also be the object of worship within the community as a whole. Although their precise functions remain relatively unknown, Dogon religious rituals revolve around four main cults: the Lébé, linked to fertility and led by the Hogon; the Wagem, dedicated to the ancestors and placed under the authority of the patriarch; the Binou, evoking the world of spirits and led by the Binou priest; as well as the society of masks, having particular importance during funeral ceremonies.
