Kneeling Dignitary from Mali in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, February 2020
Kneeling Dignitary
12th–14th century
Middle Niger civilization
Object Details
Title: Kneeling Dignitary
Date: 12th–14th century
Geography: Inner Niger Delta, Mali
Culture: Middle Niger civilization
Medium: Terracotta
Dimensions: H. 18 7/8 × W. 13 × D. 8 in., 493.78 oz. (48 × 33 × 20.3 cm, 14 kg)
Classification: Ceramics-Sculpture
Credit Line: Private collection
Middle Niger figurative representations feature a diverse cast of protagonists, from committed couples to the striking personage of a kneeling male. In this example, the man has a pronounced dorsal protrusion and wears otherworldly accessories of a serpent collar and belt. Many of these figures assume recumbent, prostrate, or upward-gazing postures. Gestures of arms crossed against the chest or covering the face suggest attitudes of prayer.
