拍品描述: Africa, Mali, Dogon culture, ca. 17th to 18th century CE. An impressive Dogon bronze ring adorned with a standing horse. Horses were relatively rare among the Dogon and equestrian warriors were highly revered among the Dogon; hence, a ring like this was created to demonstrate the might and elite position of its wearer. The face of the ring is a circular form, perhaps intended to represent a Dogon equestrian warrior's shield with a fine spiral pattern that is segmented via a metal "x" to represent the four corners of the world. The shank of ring is comprised of three bands that were soddered together. The Dogon of Mali is one of the oldest African cultures that has survived the threats of powerful neighbors and has a rich history. Their pride traditionally has shone through precious jewelry items that represent the glorified practices of Dogon warriors. The Dogon blacksmiths brought immense technical skill and artistry to their work. Dogon bronze rings were made via the traditional lost-wax process, and then forged to add the decoration. The horse and other elements of this ring were cast solid. Of course, the Dogon peoples created utilitarian metal objects such as farming tools and weapons. However, they also created special objects like this ring as symbols of status, power, and prestige. A fabulous ring that boasts beauty, artistry, and great symbolism. Ring size 9.
