Vintage Dogon Female Seated on Turtle Fetish Statue - Mali

$998.00

Statues of this genre are used ritually by the Dogon people of Mali. Typically it would be the focus of what they call a "sacrifice" in which offerings of various substances - like the blood of a chicken that was killed for this purpose - would be made in honor of a spirit which this figure represents. 

This figure measures:
32 1/4 x 8 1/4 x 6 3/4" (82 x 21 x 17 cm).
