- Lot Description
West Africa, Mali, Bamana peoples, ca. 19th century CE. A hand-carved wooden figure used in proceedings of the Djo Society known as a djon yeni (sometimes jonyele) shown seated atop a slanted, one-legged stool. The female presents nude with bent legs and broad hips, a distended abdomen embellished with bands of pecked striations, prominent conical breasts beneath gently sloped shoulders, and slender arms draped down to her waist. Her narrow head is supported by a thick, tubular neck and exhibits horizontal triangular eyes, ritual scarification grooves flanking her slender nose, thin lips, and a peaked coiffure with bifurcated bangs along both sides. Rich, dark brown patina envelops the entire figure and imbues it with a distinguished presentation. Size: 9.5" W x 44.375" H (24.1 cm x 112.7 cm)
For another example of a Djo Society seated figure, please see The Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 1978.412.338
