Product description
This post, of Malian origin and attributed to Dogon art, represents an exceptional example of West African wood sculpture. The post is decorated with symbolic motifs and carefully engraved anthropomorphic images. The Dogon style is known for its geometric simplicity and figurative representations, and this post is a beautiful illustration.The natural patina of the wood reflects its age and exposure to the elements, giving it a unique historical and cultural dimension.The poles are called "Toguna", community shelters where village elders meet to discuss and make important decisions. The sculptures represent protective figures and symbolize ancestral wisdom. These can also play a ritual role, invoking the blessing and protection of the ancestors for the community.This type of post could be integrated into an architectural or decorative context to recall ancestral Dogon traditions and bring a symbol of wisdom and protection into the space. As a collectible, it enriches the environment with its spiritual force and raw aesthetic, adding a touch of African authenticity.This Dogon pole is a piece of cultural heritage, which speaks not only of art, but also of the community life and spiritual beliefs of the Dogon people.Presumed age: 1st half of the 20th century Origin: Mali, Dogon ethnic group Material: Carved wood Height: 2.10 m Style: Dogon art, known for its refined forms and its representation of human and spiritual figures.
