Wood Equestrian Statue from Mali in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, February 2020
Title: Equestrian
Date: ca. 1400
Geography: Mali
Culture: Soninke peoples
Medium: Wood
Dimensions: H. 21 3/8 × W. 6 1/2 in. (54.3 (59.7) × 16.5 cm)
Classification: Sculpture-Wood
Credit Line: Private collection
On a practical level, the horse provided heightened mobility in the Sahel. Berber nomads of the Sahara kept horses as a sign of status. Soninke people positioned near the desert’s southern edge acquired North African horses from them. Especially useful in warfare, horses gave Soninke leaders a military advantage over neighboring peoples of the savanna. In this equestrian pairing, the horse is a highly abstract yet recognizable presence.
