Product description
The Dogons are a people living mainly in the Bandiagara cliffs region of Mali. They are famous for their complex traditions, cosmological belief systems and unique artistic practices. Among their most notable works of art are sculptures depicting the primordial couple, a central theme in Dogon mythology. The primordial couple in Dogon cosmology embodies the first ancestors of humanity, often identified as the creators of the social and cosmic order. This couple is associated with notions of fertility, balance and unity between masculine and feminine forces. The Nommo are mythical ancestral beings in Dogon cosmology. Often, primordial couple sculptures are seen as representations of the Nommo, symbolizing duality and primordial harmony. The couple is often represented with signs of fertility, such as children or attributes linked to procreation, symbolizing the continuity of life and the survival of the community. The sculptures of the primordial couple have several functions in Dogon society. Used in religious rituals, they play a central role in fertility ceremonies, initiations and ancestor celebrations. Placed in domestic or community sanctuaries, they are venerated to obtain protection and blessings from ancestral spirits. These sculptures also serve as educational tools, passing on the myths, values and stories of the Dogon to future generations. The sculptures of the Dogon primordial couple are highly appreciated for their artistic beauty and symbolic depth. They are present in numerous private and museum collections around the world, illustrating the importance of Dogon art in African cultural heritage.Product specifications
