Couple back to back Dogon giraffe necklace in gilt bronze mid 20th century
The vision of the couple according to the Dogon tradition in Mali.
Created in the mid-20th century, this chased bronze sculpture comes from the culture of the Dogon tribes in Mali.
It shows a seated couple in a traditional posture, back to back, each staring ahead. The distinctive feature is their appearance, their flat bodies imitating a shield, and their ringed necks, imitating the "giraffe" women of Burmese and West African traditions.
The woman is on the left, with feminine attributes and a protruding chest. The man is on the right, slightly taller, with a beard. The whole is set in African bronze with a slightly ochre or even red patina. The lost-wax process uses a mold made from the ochre earth of their homelands, which is what gives this appearance. Each sculpture is unique.
If you're a lover of African bronze made by the Dogon people in Mali, don't hesitate to adopt this couple today!
