Large Maternity Figure
Dan, Liberia
Solid bronze, patina
Circa 1920s

Large Dan figures of this type were created in the 1920s/30s, after bronze anklets were outlawed. Recycling the metal, Dan blacksmiths created secular objects that were substantial, such as this piece. The patina is complex, and suggests libations.
