Descripción : **First Time At Auction** West Africa, Central Mali, Dogon peoples, ca. early to mid-20th century CE. A large cast brass sculpture of a king or chief upon a chair or throne, flanked by 2 attendants holding staffs. The king sits in royal regalia, with a large sword resting on his shoulder and one hand calmly placed on his knee. The applied ridges across his torso and incised lines on his face represent ritualist scarification or tattoos for rank or warrior status, and he stares impassively forward. The elongated beard, conical headdress, and jewelry, throne, and giant stature compared to his attendants, all emphasize his royal bearing. The verso of the throne is also engraved with a reptilian or crocodile creature to symbolize his tribe's power. Great orange red mineral and earthen deposits coat the surface in recessed areas.
