African Dogon Tribal Bronze Figure “Mother with Child" Burkina Faso, 1970s
Located in Salzburg, AT
Fantastique African Dogon tribal bronze figure “Mother with Child,” Burkina Faso, 1970s
The heavy figure shows a dynamic representation of a mother in motion
with her toddler in her arms.
The object is so appealing because it has been elongated and the legs, arms,
and headdress are exaggerated.
The ribbed headdress is central, and there are also large earrings and a
loincloth.
The casting is very detailed and finely crafted.
Due to its weight and size, we have mounted the object on an acrylic base.
Dimensions of the figure: W 18cm x D 6cm x H 69cm
Bronze figures associated with the Dogon people mainly originate from Mali and
Burkina Faso. The Dogon are known for their cosmogony and religious rituals,
which are reflected in their art. Dogon bronzes...

19th Century African Iron Currency Mfunte Mfumte Nigeria Cameroon
Located in Point Richmond, CA
The price is for an individual currency and includes the custom made stand.
The shape of a Mfunte currency has a seemingly simple yet complex design. The forged iron surface was scratched in an end-to-end direction to create a visually interesting surface, a central raised vein to create two sections, and swelling was incorporated on the front at the straight end. The aging of the iron has further added to the texture and attractiveness of the design.
Colonial coinage replaced Africa's traditional iron currencies...
