Tanzanian Dogon Toguna Post

Located in Chicago, IL

This carved post may have once supported a toguna, an important structure around which a Dogon village was built. Said to reproduce the original shelter where eight primordial ancestors gathered, a toguna is characterized by its low-lying stature and monumental wood posts supporting a thick roof of millet stalks. Carved to express a particular spirit, the posts are sourced from the kile tree, which when cut and split creates a natural fork to support the roof beams. At a natural narrowing of the timber, the sculptor of this post called forth its spirit with a carving of small round head. We’re captivated by the assimilation of forms within this animated sculpture - the textural disintegration of the portion once submerged below ground, the Minimalist sweep of its stature, and the gentle benevolence of the spirit’s face.
