Terracotta Seated Male Figure from Mali in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, February 2020
Title: Seated Male Figure
Date: 12th–14th century
Geography: Mali, Ségou Region
Culture: Middle Niger civilization
Medium: Terracotta
Dimensions: (Approximately) H. 17 11/16 × W. 15 × D. 11 in. (45 × 38.1 × 27.9 cm)
Classification: Ceramics-Sculpture
Credit Line: Collection of Daniel and Marian Malcolm
Middle Niger artists added and inscribed details on their fluidly modeled bodily forms. The formal unity of these solitary, introspective seated male figures suggests the output of a workshop. Each has the same stylized arrangement of limbs, stone-bead necklaces, and metal bracelets. The interpretive potential of such ancient creations has been severely compromised by their lack of archaeological provenance. To ignore their existence is, however, to deny one of the most significant moments in Sahelian creative expression.
