This wooden sculpture, "Equestrian Figure," is a stylized representation of a rider atop a horse from Djenne, Mali. Dating to around 1450, it is carved in a simplified, almost geometric style characteristic of the region. The piece is part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art's collection and stands at 28 1/4 x 6 3/4 x 10 1/4 inches, making it a relatively small-scale but impactful work of African art.
