Large Dogon horseman from Mali, finely sculpted, with a prominent sex, a bag in his shoulder strap.
The gullied patina, sign of a stay outside, the underside also attests it.
The rider is a symbol of power and warrior power. They are often rather rough, this is not the case here, he is represented with a lot of details and meticulousness, a beautiful example of Dogon statuary. Height 74 cm, very heavy hard wood, traces of blows, wear, lacks, erosions. Around 1940/50. Former Belgian collection Serge Sheer .
