Tellem figure – Wood – Dogon – Mali

Authentic wooden Tellem figure from the Dogon tribe from Mali. The Tellem are known for their abstract images with outstretched arms. This was seen as a sign for a plea for rain. This is a particularly appealing image, with the typical outstretched arms in the air.
Considering its age, the statue is still in a good condition with a beautiful age of patina.
