Folk Art Figurative Piece

Description:

This antique sculpture, hand-forged from iron, depicts a stylized pregnant woman in a dynamic pose—one foot elegantly lifted, requiring a small shim (not included) for display. The piece showcases the raw artistry of blacksmithing, with hammer marks and a time-worn patina that highlight its handmade origins. Most likely of African origin (Dogon tribe).

Artistic Significance:

A rare example of figurative folk art in iron, this sculpture blends utilitarian craftsmanship with expressive form.

Dimensions:

11.25”H x 2.75”W x 2.25”D (28.5 x 7 x 5.7 cm)

Condition:

Good used condition, with expected surface wear and oxidation consistent with age. Stable and structurally sound; minor imbalance due to pose (easily corrected with a discreet shim). See less
