    Description

    This oil lamp is from the Dogon people of Mali, Africa. It is made of iron and was used for nocturnal rituals. The piece is sold and delivered as-is. It has considerable surface rust (as shown in the photos) which can be cleaned, however that  will be left to the buyer to decide. The rust has not structurally impacted the metal structure and ornamentation.
    Height: 36"
    Provenance: Collection of Daniel J. Crowley (1921-1998), Professor of Anthropology and Art at UC Davis, and Pearl Crowley.
