Product description
The sculpture depicted is a Nommo figure, a central element of Dogon mythology. The Dogons, living mainly in the region of the Bandiagara cliffs in Mali, have a rich and complex cosmology, where the Nommo play a preponderant role. The Nommo are considered ancestral beings, often described as aquatic and androgynous spirits, and are associated with the creation and organization of the universe. The figure is depicted in a dynamic, hunched posture, which is typical of Nommo sculptures. This posture can symbolize a state of transformation or transition, reflecting the versatile and mystical nature of Nommo. This sculpture by Nommo Shicouroule is a remarkable example of Dogon art, combining technical skill and symbolic depth. Its dynamic form, sculptural details and patina demonstrate its ritual and cultural importance. As an expert on African art, it is crucial to recognize and celebrate these objects not only for their aesthetic, but also for their essential role in transmitting the beliefs and traditions of the Dogon. This piece, rich in history and symbolism, offers a fascinating insight into the cosmology and craftsmanship of this ancient and respected culture.Product specifications
