    Description

    Dogon wood carved Equestrian Figure 18" - Mali - African Art early-mid 20th century.  Depicts a male figure on horseback. This sculpture would compliment any museum collection. Dogon figures showing horses and riders depict the prestige and power surrounding an animal that has been associated with these qualities since it was introduced into west Africa  more than a thousand years ago. Horses were generally considered a luxury reserved for rich or powerful people and are prevalent in Dogon beliefs about the creation of the world.  Horse and rider figures are seen as a symbol of a mythological personage.  Condition is Used but very nice for it's age. Heavy wood, about 3 1/2 pounds. Shipped by insured ups to addresses in the lower 48 states or to the UPS international service location. Alaska or Hawaii will be additional.   Paypal is accepted.
