    Dogon Nommo statue in bronze with brown patina and red highlights, mid-20th century

    What if you brought the beauty of West African Dogon art into your home?

    Rare and spectacular, this bronze sculpture with its unique shape evokes that of a Nommo, the water spirit of Dogon cosmogony. The first being created by the god Amma, the Nommo is an entity with human and aquatic animal characteristics, a symbol of life and universal fertility.

    The Nommo is a hermaphroditic deity, both male (male sex) and female (chest), and animal (here, the crocodile with pointed scales on its back), making it a rare subject among the Nommo, linking earth and water. This blend of two opposites makes it the embodiment of the balance of everything in nature: earth and water, day and night, order and chaos!

    Created by the Dogon people in the mid-20th century, this bronze sculpture is made using the lost-wax technique: a mold is shaped, the interior filled with wax, and the molten metal is poured into it. The mold is then destroyed, making each Dogon creation a unique work of art. The patina of brown, ochre, and gold is endemic to Dogon productions from the mid-20th century.

    Fans of African bronze and Malian Dogon culture, don't hesitate, adopt this crocodile-like Nommo today!

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