Figure: Male, 12th–17th century (?), Mali, Dogon peoples (?), Wood, H. 25 3/8 x W. 3 7/8 x D. 4 5/8 in. (64.5 x 9.9 x 11.8 cm), Wood-Sculpture, Although its precise culture and date of origin are unknown, this work is intriguing for both stylistic and chronological reasons. Its abstract, protuberant facial features, spare but elegant dress, and prestigious objects relate it to Dogon sculptures, but its style and iconography share much in common with that of Inland Niger Delta terracottas of the twelfth to seventeenth centuries as well
