Iron
Shrine Figure
Bambara. Mali
19th Century
Previous Collection Drs.
Jean and Noble Endicott
Reminiscent of a Giacometti; this shrine figure epitomizes pure raw sculpture.
The profile of the piece grabs you with its proud face and crisp lines.
Through generations of exposure and use; this iron figure has acquired
a fine oxidized encrusted surface; that not only shows the great age of
the piece; but gives the piece a great “earthy” quality.
This shrine figure stands 10.5 inches tall.
