Full original description
Curious and rare dogon couple. The woman has a child, only schematized, in her arms. The characters more than stylized are long. At the height of their chest they cross a semicircular band. The wombs carry a succession of highlights, staggered in man. The faces are enigmatic, the woman has a hen head and the profile of the man has a head similar to that of a horse. They are very old pieces, used if you doubt as talismans. Patina greenish man and brown woman.
