These pieces are unique because the bronze was cast following the ancient cire perdue (lost wax) technique.
The trunk of both figures is composed of a pebble with bronze cast around.  It is said that the traditional Dogon bronzes with stones come from the Hombori mountain, the highest mountainous mass in Mali, a mountain that is sacred for many Malians.
