Dogon mythology tells of one Primordial Couple who begat the entire world. That couple is traditionally represented in art and sculpture as sitting together on a stool. The base of the stool represent the earth, and the seat represents the sky. This statue falls squarely within that tradition and also displays other characteristics of Dogon carving.
