    Dogon Horseman Drinking from His Zebu, Gilt Bronze, Mid-20th Century

    Ethnic craftsmanship from the Dogon people and tribes of Mali.

    A unique creation from the mid-20th century, this gilt bronze African horseman is depicted as a farmer rather than a Dogon war hero or cosmogonic figure, riding and drinking from his zebu.

    The zebu holds a central place in the society and culture of the Dogon people of Mali—and indeed West Africa in general. This domesticated bovine is raised for its meat, which is perfect for grilling or making broth.

    Its milk is essential for bone growth. Its hooves, horns, and bones can be used for crafts. The animal itself can be used as a tool for plowing the land by harnessing it, or as a substitute for a horse for transportation.

    This sculpture perfectly captures the importance of the animal: its sculpted form is more detailed than that of its rider. It's a true gem of folk art, showcasing the daily life, customs, and traditions of the enigmatic Dogon people.

    Lovers of African bronze craftsmanship and Dogon culture in Mali, look no further! Adopt this rider drinking from his zebu today.

    Fast and careful shipping to France, Europe, and worldwide.
