Dogon Pharmacopoeia Box with Carved Figures – Hand-Carved Wood – Handmade in Mali
Description
A distinctive hand-carved wooden pharmacopoeia box inspired by the artistic traditions of the Dogon region of Mali.
The tall, narrow form is decorated with geometric carving and a central relief composition of stylised human figures and symbolic motifs. A sculpted head-like finial crowns the piece, while the three-legged base gives it a strong vertical presence and makes it particularly striking as a decorative object.
The surface shows natural variations in carving, grain, wear and patina that reflect its handmade character and give the piece its individual appearance.
