Dogon Clay And Terracotta Figure Mali

Overall Condition: Good. Most of our pieces have spent decades on at least two continents, and have been treasured by several owners.

Damage/Repair: Crack on bottom, leans to one side when standing.

African terracotta (baked clay) figures are at once some of oldest recorded sculpture from Sub-Saharan Africa, but equally some of the most problematical as well. They often are difficult to place among a people or culture and equally difficult to date.
