Descripción : Kneeling figure Mali, Dogon light brown wood, encrusted greyish brown patina, of abstract form, min. dam., traces of insect caused damage, traces of abrasion, on base, the kneeling posture is a common theme in Dogon art, especially in sculptures of women. Dogon women assume this kneeling pose at funerals, as a sign of grief and of gratitude to the deceased for a productive life. Given that many Dogon figures are placed on ancestral altars dedicated to deceased family members, it is possible that the figures of kneeling women are intended to preserve this gesture and the sentiment it embodies.
