Dog Date Unknown

This small bronze sculpture, titled "Dog" and created by an unknown artist from Djenne, is a captivating example of West African art. The stylized, almost cartoonish depiction of the dog, with its large head and defined features, suggests a playful or even humorous approach to animal representation. This piece, now housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, exemplifies the artistry of the ancient Djenne people, and their ability to capture life in bronze.
