This is the rating and price for Dogon Stacked Primoridal Couple Miniature Figure Mali , 20th century

Description : Additional Information: , A pair of figures stacked vertically. , A miniature carving with a stand ready for immediate display. , The Dogon, a complex and spiritual people, have a blithering array of ritual art objects. Though they have been studied by scholars for many years, the use and naming of these artworks remains elusive. There are close to 100 different wooden masks, countless figural statuary sizes and forms, and innumerable smaller objects, from door locks, to metal castings, to jewelry, to items that defy meaningful classification. Most of these artworks are associated with the staggering number of Dogon ceremonies and festivals, which are mostly off-limits to outsiders. The primordial couple is a common theme in Dogon art. It reflects the Dogon , view of the necessary relationship between men and women to insure continuity and life. This couple also demonstrates the importance of the male-female duality so prominent in Dogon creation myths in the pairing of the primordial ancestors, present day family life, as well as the ancestors from whom they descended.  ,Recommended Reading: Griaule, M. &ldquo,Les Symboles des arts africains&rdquo,. 1951 Guggenheim, H. &ldquo,Dogon Art&rdquo,. , ,1974 Roy, C. , ,&ldquo,The Dogon of Mali and Upper Volta&rdquo,. , ,1983.
