Description
Magnificent Dogon metal couple from Mali, embodying the spiritual and symbolic union of the couple in Dogon culture. Slender and stylised, these figures have minimalist features, geometric bodies and a majestic posture. The woman, with her prominent chest, evokes fertility, while the man embodies protective strength. The deep brown patina and engraved details attest to their age and authenticity.
