Dimitri André

Welcome to my auction!
Today you're bidding on a small, unique, original and hand-crafted masterpiece.
This artefact has received particular attention to detail by its maker, a Malian craftsman or "artisan". It was handed over to me during my stay in the Djenné region in Mali.
This relatively small statue is a Dogon ancestor/shepherd with a spear, riding a horse, mystical animal of the Dogon culture. It has always been stored inside a glass showcase.

MATERIAL: African bronze. Lost-wax casting process, dark brownish patina.
PROVENANCE: Private collection, originally from the Djenné region, in Mali (collected in situ).
SPECS: 13 cm height, 13 cm width. About 280 g.

Insured shipping with Track & Trace. FAIR shipping costs via UPS!
